A new study has found that Performing Acts of kindness can improve symptoms of depression more effectively than planning activities for enjoyment. The study tested cognitive behavioral therapy methods, including random acts of kindness, fun activities, and cognitive reappraisal. Participants measured their feelings of social isolation, self-consciousness, and life satisfaction before, during, and after the study. All three groups experienced improvements, but the random acts of kindness group had a bigger impact on positive cognition and emotions. The study suggests that performing acts of kindness can be a powerful therapeutic strategy and can benefit mental health disorders.
