Behavioral activation is primarily used in the treatment of depressive symptomatology. Fatigue generated by the illness, as well as negative-focused thinking patterns and expectations of the worst, will lead to avoidance of many situations and actions. Individuals suffering from depression, by using avoidance as a coping strategy for potential unpleasant situations, will reduce the frequency and intensity of their active behaviors, which will lead to a worsening of depressive symptoms. 3, record 1, English, - depressive%20symptomatology
