A person's thoughts and beliefs—whether they're accurate or not—determine how they will feel about any given situation. When a person has a pattern of negative irrational thoughts, we call them cognitive distortions. • Cognitive distortions play a major role in many mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, a person can learn to challenge their cognitive distortions, and replace them with new, healthy thoughts. • Visit Therapist Aid to download a list of cognitive distortions: • For teens and adults: https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-... • For kids: https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-...
