Study of features of coping strategies of patients suffering depressive disorders
The article presents a study aimed at studying the features of the use of coping strategies by people with depressive disorders and includes a brief theoretical analysis of the literature on the topic of the study, as well as the results of an empirical study of this phenomenon. The Hospital Scale of Depression and Anxiety was used to study the level of depression. A comparison was made of the trends towards the use of specific coping strategies in people with depressive disorders and those without a history of depressive manifestations in the last 5 years. Empirical research has shown that the use of "relatively adaptive" coping strategies prevails in people with depressive disorders.
