In everyday wellbeing work, tracking how activities affect mood can make behavioural activation feel more practical and measurable. A printable depression worksheet like this can help someone notice the link between pleasant activities, small responsibilities, pleasure, achievement and changes in low mood.
This Behavioural Activation Worksheet for Depression PDF is a printable activity log for noticing how everyday actions can influence mood, pleasure and a sense of achievement. It asks the person to choose a manageable activity, record the date, then rate depression, pleasure and achievement before and after completing it. The built-in 0 to 8 scale, from absolutely none to extreme, makes it easier to compare changes without needing a long written record.
It can be used in CBT-informed sessions, counselling appointments, mental health support work, wellbeing planning or guided self-help. Adults and older teenagers may find it useful when low mood has made routines, hobbies, self-care or small responsibilities feel harder to begin. Practitioners can introduce the sheet during a session, review completed examples together, or set it as a simple home learning task between appointments.
The four activity spaces allow several small experiments to be tracked on one page, while the reflection prompt encourages the person to look for patterns in motivation, avoidance, enjoyment and accomplishment. The clear layout is concise enough for busy lessons, group work or one-to-one support. Download, print or save the worksheet to support structured activity planning, revision of session goals, personal reflection, or a gentle conversation about what helped and what felt difficult.
