Abstract

This paper presents the case of a 50-year-old, married patient who presented to the psychologist with specific symptoms of depressive-anxiety disorder: lack of self-confidence, repeated worries, lack of hope for the future, sleep disorders.During psychodiagnosis and clinical evaluation, it emerged that the patient had mild depression, generalized anxiety and elements of dependent -avoidant personality disorders, without fully meeting the criteria for diagnosing personality disorders. The case was approached with the help of cognitive-behavioral therapy, and the patient significantly improved the symptoms of anxiety and depression by the end of the meetings, became more assertive, learned to manage negative dysfunctional emotions and was able to make decisions about her future.
