• An explanation of how to use these booklets

• How depression can influence our thoughts, feelings, physical sensations (what we feel in our bodies) and behaviour

• Noticing your own thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and behaviour

• How thoughts and behaviours can maintain low mood and depression
