Question

Imagine someone who is depressed, and goes to a positive psychologist for therapy. Write about what positive psychologists do, and then explain how a positive psychologist might treat depression. How might the psychologist explain the depression in terms of positive psychology?

Answer 1

A positive psychologist is the one that helps an individual gain positive mind set towards his or her life. They help an individual foresee positivity in their minds, their behavior, attitude towards themselves and to others and how these can affect their life. A positive psychologist can treat depression by helping the concerned individual get through with his or her depression by pointing out the goodness of life, of how everything is not just what the person sees, that there is something more. The positive psychologist will widen the person’s mind and point out that there is more than what the person’s think of how positivity can affect his life. The positive psychologist explains depression in a way of how a negativity can affect an individual’s life.
