Introduction

Depression is a common mental health disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide. It is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, and hopelessness, and can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life. While traditional treatments for depression, such as antidepressant medication and talk therapy, have been effective for many individuals, there is a growing body of research supporting the use of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as an alternative or adjunct treatment for depression.

ACT is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that focuses on helping individuals accept difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to change or control them. By teaching individuals to be more mindful and present in the moment, ACT aims to help individuals develop a greater sense of psychological flexibility and resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

This thesis will explore the role of ACT in the treatment of depression, including its effectiveness, mechanisms of action, and potential limitations. By reviewing the existing literature on this topic and conducting a new study, this thesis aims to contribute to our understanding of how ACT can be used to effectively treat depression.
