Joe has failed three math quizzes since the school year began. He has told his teacher and counselor that he doesn't feel he's good at anything. His friends have reported that Joe has started to push them away, so they have stopped hanging out with him. It seems that Joe is clearly in a cycle of depression. Based on your knowledge of the depression cycle, what is one way that you could help Joe could break the cycle? Bear in mind that it would be a challenge for him to try and attack every element of the cycle, so just choose one part of the cycle and what he (with your help) might do to improve that part.
