A therapeutic approach for depression that encourages engagement in meaningful activities to counteract avoidance and withdrawal patterns.
From 'behavior' + Latin 'activatio' (making active). Activating behavior to treat depression.
Behavioral activation says: don't wait until you FEEL like doing things — DO things, and the feelings will follow. Action leads emotion, not the other way around!
