      • The Negative Triad
    • Faulty Information Processing
      • When depressed we tend to dwell on the negatives of a situation and ignore positives
      • When depressed we tend to blow small problems out of proportion
    • Negative Self Schema
      • A schema is a package of ideas and information developed from experiences
      • A schema works as a mental framework
        • A self schema is a package of information we have about ourselves.
        • We use schemas to interpret the world, so if we have a negative self-schema we interpret information about ourselves in a negative way
    • Negative Triad
      • A person develops a negative view   about themselves because of three types of negative thinking, these elements make up a negative triad
      • Negative view on the world
