Maladaptive pattern: “My boss yelled at me.” “I’m worthless.” Depression After cognitive restructuring: “My boss yelled at me.” No depression
What it means

A flowchart contrasts a maladaptive thought pattern with cognitive restructuring. In the first sequence, being yelled at by a boss leads to “I’m worthless” and depression; in the second, the same event leads to a frantic stick-figure reaction and “No depression.” The joke is that replacing negative thoughts with absurd overreaction supposedly prevents depression.
