It helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their depression.B. Deep-brain stimulation is an invasive procedure used for treatment-resistant depression and other neurological conditions.C. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a noninvasive but more intensive treatment often used for severe or treatment-resistant depression. However, it is generally not the first line of treatment.D.
