The study provides a comprehensive overview of depression, highlighting major research on this disorder worldwide and in Vietnam, with a particular focus on depression among youth. It addresses fundamental aspects of depression, including its concept, characteristics, causes, clinical features, and diagnostic criteria as outlined in the DSM-5. Additionally, the study reviews assessment and therapeutic approaches, emphasizing the primary use of cognitive - behavioral therapy (CBT) combined with mindfulness-based relaxation techniques. These methods aim to help clients cope with stress and life challenges effectively.
The intervention results demonstrate significant improvements for the client, including enhanced sleep and eating patterns, enabling the client to return to normal work activities. Moreover, the client showed reduced depressive symptoms, alleviated stress, and anxiety levels.
