Damn, dont worry too much only a few marks, do you know about the fact that for depression it said outline and evaluate not outline and evaluate research and i did alot of a01 and a02 but only one study will this cap my mark or can i still get good marks for the essay?

They mean the same thing, because when it says "evaluate" it means write about research that supports or challenges the theory you chose to write about! If you did a lot of a02 then this plus the study you included should get you good marks if you wrote well about it!

For depression did anyone just write about one explanation, because it said "one or more"? I just wrote in depth about Beck's cognitive model including the cognitive triad, negative silent assumptions and faulty information processing. I didn't write anything about the psychodynamic theory because I didn't have time and I thought well it says you can write about only one so I'll just write about one explanation. Will I get partial performance for only writing about one? Concerned as many people I spoke to wrote about Beck's cognitive model and a bit about the psychodynamic theory!

I did seligmans learned helplessness aswell as becks

Well "evaluate" can mean any evaluation so not necessarily studies. If you wrote effectively about any kind of evaluation of the theory then you'll get marks, in the mark schemes there is never a set amount of studies you must include. You just need to make several valid evaluation point to get marks!
