Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing pleasant activities is a common behavioral intervention for coping with depression in adolescence. This includes engaging in enjoyable activities such as hobbies, exercise, and socializing, which can improve mood and increase a sense of fulfillment. Decreasing pleasant activities (choice B) would likely have the opposite effect and exacerbate depression. Increasing introspection (choice C) may be helpful for some individuals, but is not a commonly recommended approach as excessive self-focus can lead to rumination and increased negative thoughts. Decreasing introspection (choice D) may also not be helpful as avoiding emotions and avoiding self-reflection can lead to a lack of understanding and awareness of one's depressive symptoms.
