How Unhealthy Thinking Fuels Mental Health Challenges (And How CBT Helps)
Unhealthy thinking patterns often operate beneath the surface of mental health struggles, quietly shaping our emotions, decisions, and relationships. In psychology, these habitual errors are known as cognitive distortions—biased mental shortcuts that twist how we interpret ourselves, others, and life events. While everyone experiences them occasionally, when distortions become automatic and repetitive, they can fuel depression, intensify stress, and drain hope. The good news? These patterns are learned, meaning they can also be unlearned. With the right tools, especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), distorted thoughts can be challenged, reframed, and replaced with healthier perspectives that lighten emotional burdens and restore a sense of control.
