Answer:

Pleasurable Activities

Step-by-step explanation:

According to behavioural psychologist of Lewinsohn model, they are of the belief or opinion that it is possible to unlearn depression because it is learned.

People that are living with depressive disorders lost total interest in activities they used to enjoy and have a decreased ability to feel pleasure.

Peter Lewinsohn argued in the 1970s that depression is often as a result of a combination of stressors in a person's environment and a lack of personal skills

Although, the mainstay of treatment is usually medication, talk therapy or a combination of the two where the patient is advised you increase her engagement in pleasurable activities
