Assignment:

In the context of CBT and relapse prevention in depression, I find the idea of creating an easily accessible list of support resources for clients during times of distress to be particularly compelling. Such a list, as suggested by Kennerley et al. (2017), could be incorporated into a client's personalized plan to serve as a reference during setbacks.

In my research on CBT and relapse prevention in depression, I found an article by Paykel (2007) that discusses the relative effectiveness of antidepressants versus CBT. Paykel (2007) notes that while antidepressants may be useful for immediate treatment, they are associated with a higher risk of relapse and may not be as effective in the long term. Conversely, research suggests that CBT is effective in managing mild depression because it focuses on preventing the return of symptoms. While I acknowledge the benefits of medication, I believe in addressing the root of the problem first, which is why I am passionate about counselling.

What are some challenges of creating personalized plans?
