Abstract
This group manual was created to support college students struggling with a depressive mood disorder such as Major Depressive Disorder. The instance of mental health concerns, including depression, have increased greatly over the last several years. Depression is the most common mental health concern for college students, and the rate at which they experience depressive symptoms has exceeded that of the general population. Depressive symptoms in college students can lead to many concerns like poor academic achievement, self-isolation, poor diet and nutrition, and suicidal ideation (Liu et al., 2022). This group manual aims to equip college students struggling with depression with the knowledge and tools to mediate their symptoms while following the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) model of counseling. CBT has been shown to be effective in treating depression on both an individual basis as well as in a group setting (Gaudiano, 2008).
