Abstract
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) stands as a cornerstone in evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions for Depression.Depression manifests as persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest in daily activities, emptiness, or irritability, coupled with somatic and cognitive shifts that impair daily functioning. This case study delves into the efficacy of online CBT in treating Depression, focusing on a 57-year-old male. Initial assessment revealed mild depressive episode in the patient, prompting a structured course of 12 CBT online sessions. Progression through therapy saw a notable reduction in symptom severity, suggesting the potential effectiveness of online CBT in such cases. The insights gleaned from this study offer valuable guidance for managing depression in similar patients.
