10. Summary of the thesis results:
Adolescents are a group that requires special attention from families, schools, and society due to their unstable psychological characteristics and vulnerability in an increasingly developed society, with growing pressure from academics, peer relationships, and the influence of social media. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur at any age and stage, and can have serious consequences if not addressed promptly. Depression in adolescents may or may not be triggered by a traumatic event. Research into depressive disorders stemming from childhood trauma could be a useful topic. Studies have already shown a link between depressive disorders and trauma. Expanding and delving deeper into this topic will undoubtedly provide us with more perspectives on the correlation, effective treatment approaches, and prevention of other risk factors.
In this study, the authors provide an overview of depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and school bullying among adolescents. Based on scientifically proven evidence of effectiveness, the authors use a cognitive-behavioral therapy approach combined with mindfulness to support clients' problems.
Research results show that psychotherapy plays a crucial role in improving the psychological problems of adolescents. Psychological disorders requiring medication will be treated much more effectively and quickly if psychotherapy is also administered. For the subjects in the study, a cognitive-behavioral approach combined with mindfulness initially proved effective. The subjects learned relaxation techniques and, in some situations, were able to better control their emotions than before. They accepted the reality of events and problems that did not go as planned. They were also able to adjust some of their thoughts in a more helpful direction.
11. Practical applicability: Numerous studies have shown that cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective for depressive disorders, and mindfulness has a positive effect in treating post-traumatic stress disorder. Therefore, for clients with multiple problems as described above, a combination of CBT and mindfulness would be a suitable approach.
12. Future research directions: The author intends to conduct further research on CBT therapy combined with mindfulness and ACT therapy to compare their effectiveness in treating clients with multiple problems.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
Adolescents are a group that needs special attention from families, schools and society because of their unstable psychological characteristics and vulnerability in social context: the pressure from studying, friendship relationships problem and the influence of social networks are increasing. Depression and post-traumatic stress disorder can occur at any age. Regardless of the stage, they have serious consequences if not promptly intervened. Depression in adolescents may or may not begin after a psychological trauma. Research on depressive disorders caused by childhood trauma can be a useful topic. There have been studies showing a link between depressive disorders and psychological trauma. Expanding and accessing this topic more deeply will certainly help us gain more perspectives on correlation, effective treatment, and prevention of other risk factors.
In this study, the author gave an overview of depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress and the current situation of school bullying in adolescents. Based on proven scientific evidence of effectiveness, the author uses a cognitive-behavioral therapy approach that combines mindfulness to support client's problems.
Research results show that psychotherapy plays a very important role in improving adolescents' psychological problems. Psychological disorders that require pharmacological intervention will be much more effective and quicker if the client receives psychotherapy at the same time. For the client in the study, the cognitive-behavioral approach combined with mindfulness was initially effective. Client learn ways to relax and in some situations can control his emotions better than before. He can partly accept that in reality there are some events and problems that are not to his liking. He can adjust some of his thoughts in a more helpful direction.
12. Practical applicability, if any: Many studies have shown that cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective for depressive disorders, and mindfulness has a positive effect in treating post-traumatic stress. Therefore, for clients with multiple problems as above, a combination of CBT and mindfulness will be the appropriate approach.
13. Further research directions, if any: The author plans to further research on CBT therapy combined with mindfulness and ACT therapy to compare the effectiveness of therapy for clients with multiple problems.
