Overcoming Teenage Low Mood and Depression: A Five Areas Approach uses the tried and tested Five Areas™ model of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to equip and empower young people experiencing low mood or depression with the key life skills they need to overcome these conditions.

The Five Areas™ model communicates life skills and key interventions in a clear, pragmatic and accessible style, by examining five important aspects of our lives:

- Life situation, relationships, resources and problems

- Altered thinking

- Altered feelings or moods

- Altered physical symptoms or sensations

- Altered behaviour or activity levels

This new edition of the book from the award-winning Overcoming series, which has sold tens of thousands of copies, addresses all the common challenges faced by young people during times of low mood and depression. Developed in liaison with a team of experts working with young people, this workbook course provides a practical and effective method for helping readers make positive changes in an achievable way.

Using inspiring stories and worksheets, Overcoming Teenage Low Mood and Depression will not only provide an invaluable resource for young people, but also their friends and families, counsellors and therapists, or anyone looking to offer support.
