Usually, something between 12 to 16 sessions of CBT should be adequate for depression to improve. That really depends on the person. It depends on whether they are already on antidepressant medication and that it’s effective for them because that actually gives cognitive behavioural the best chance of being effective as well. It also depends on whether their depression is complicated by any underlying personality difficulties or whether their depression is an episode of depression that isn’t chronic and isn’t repetitive.
