Core Tip	This observational study reveals that self-compassion is negatively correlated with mental pain in individuals with depression, while automatic thoughts mediate this relationship. The findings underscore the importance of self-compassion in reducing mental pain and suggest that addressing automatic thoughts could be a key intervention for improving mental health outcomes in depression.
