Abstract

The article discusses the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy in foreign medical students. It is well known thatdepression is the second most common disease in the world. The causes of depression are diverse. Different psychological schools see this disorder from different perspectives. Recently, we are increasingly seeing mixed anxiety-depressive episodes. Learning a medicine in a foreign language is an additional stress factor. Thus, the selected contingent needs a psychotherapeutic effect for adaptation. The article provides information on cognitive-behavioral therapy taking into account the gender characteristics of the contingent. In our opinion, cognitive-behavioral therapy is an optimal and short-term method of psychotherapeutic influence. Thus, a differentiated approach to the preparation of therapeutic programs based on the gender characteristics of anxiety-depressive disorder is effective and can be recommended for use with medical students.
