ABSTRACT
Depression is one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders. Cognitive Schemas have been well established to play a role in the development and the treatment of this disorder. Monotheistic view is a popular and well-received cognitive schema which is followed by specific emotions and deserves to be paid attention. This is a review study on the verses of the holy Koran using the relevant resources and soft wares. Data has been classified to primary and secondary preventive categories and discussed accordingly. We distracted three major axes of the monotheistic view as relevant in prevention and treatment of depression. They are: to encourage a positive way of thinking and a productive and creative state of mind, to remove negative attitudes and to reduce depressive symptoms and signs. Some of the important issues which are discussed in this regard according the holy Koran are as follows: this view gives a total perspective about the life which may answer some of the human basic questions about the philosophy of life and existence, it gives faith and wisdom, an attitude based on the trust in God and consent toward his will, it introduces ways for facing with problems such as poverty, financial worries, family problems and life negative events among many others. Applying the mentioned axes, monotheistic view has a basic role in providing humankind with stable and satisfying emotions. As an effective cognitive schema in the treatment and prevention of depression, it can be applied in individual and social primary and secondary care programs. Cognitive schemas deducted from the monotheistic view can make a foundation for a new psychotherapeutic method for depression. In the full text of this material, we have discussed the similarities and differences of this view with other kinds of cognitive schemata
