Accepted Answer

Cognitive therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and beliefs in order to create more positive emotions and behaviors.

Behavior therapy may also be helpful in addressing specific symptoms of depression, such as lack of motivation or energy, but it does not address the underlying thought patterns that contribute to depression. Gestalt and psychoanalytic therapies are less commonly used in the treatment of depression, and may not be as effective in producing significant improvements in symptoms.
