Following an introduction to the course, Module 1 imparts the knowledge of what depression actually is, how it affects us (including a list of symptoms), common myths, why it can come about, and the common medications used to treat it.

Module 2 of the Dealing with Depression Diploma Course delves deeper into the subject of depression, giving detailed reasons for depression, with the aim of arming students with all the latest findings. Here students will also find some quick fire techniques that can counteract the beginnings of negative thoughts.

The third module discusses related conditions and starts to introduce students to the initial stages of self-help, along with talking of the lifestyle and thought processes that embed depression into a sufferer. The aim here is to prepare students for the positive changes they will make later in the course.

To make a change students need to understand the thinking patterns, the brain and how negative thinking patterns can affect the state of mind and well-being of the depression sufferer, and this is what is talked about it Module 4.

The Depression Diploma Course’s fifth module covers the holistic approach to combating depression. This includes how powerful techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, journaling, and exercise, can be when practiced regularly.

Nutrition and lifestyle are often-overlook factor in depression, but these areas have a massive impact on our mental well being. Module 6 informs students of how nutrition can aid or work against us, whilst escapism through alcohol and drugs can embed the condition of depression further into the sufferer.

With various techniques to combat depression already discussed earlier in the course, Module 7 concretizes this information and reinforces it with the most effective practices for long term recovery and resilience.

The final module focuses on how to use the information learned from the Dealing with Depression Diploma Course to help others to overcome depression and work towards long term recovery. This is followed by a list of references and further reading.
