Good Mood:
The New Psychology
of Overcoming Depression
APPENDIX C
SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
OF THE CAUSATION OF DEPRESSION
Figure C1 summarizes
graphically the description in
Chapters 2 to 9 of the mental
mechanisms that influence
sadness and depression. It
shows how the elements in a
person's history and present
conditions may combine to
produce unfavorable self-
comparisons, sadness, and
depression. The aim of this
figure is to present a unified
picture of the depression
mechanism and its elements.
Though Figure C1 is complex,
please keep in mind that it is
only a stylized and simplified
view of the human condition,
and the elements could be
chosen, defined, and styled in
many different fashions.
