Methods: Experimental study with use of randomized, pretest-posttest control group design. Respondents meeting the criteria were divided by random allocation, treatment by CBT for as many as 17 respondents, and even as much control as 20 respondents. The mean age of the treatment group was 37.24 and the control group was 44.45, with a range of 21–60 years old, who experienced mild and moderate depression without antidepressants. Treatment consists of 4 sessions, 45 minutes each session, once a week. Effectiveness was measured using BDI instruments.

Depression improvement in the treatment group was 64.7% compared to the control group’s 25.0%.
