Intervención cognitivo conductual para mujeres con trastorno depresivo persistente: sintomatología ansiosa, depresiva y satisfacción vital

Abstract

Background. Persistent depressive disorder (PDD) is a common mood disorder in women. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and compassion-focused therapy have been used separately. Objectives. To assess the efficacy of a multicomponent group intervention program. Method. After signing an informed consent, participants (n = 6) answered (before and after intervention and follow-up) questionnaires on anxiety, depression, life satisfaction, and satisfaction with the intervention. Results. Our pre-treatment results showed high levels of anxious and depressive symptoms and low life satisfaction, which improved after the intervention and remained stable at the six-month follow-up. Conclusions. It is therefore concluded that multicomponent treatment can improve the emotional health of patients with PDD, decreasing their anxious and depressive symptoms and increasing their satisfaction with life.
