Summary
This trial tests a new treatment combining cognitive exercises and practical sessions for Veterans with depression and past suicide attempts. The goal is to improve thinking skills to better handle stress and reduce suicidal thoughts.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for U.S. Veterans aged 18-60 with major depressive disorder and a history of suicide attempts within the past year. They must have current suicidal thoughts without immediate plans to act on them, be in ongoing psychotherapy, and score high on rumination measures. Women are encouraged to participate, aiming for at least 30% female participants.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new cognitive therapy called NEAR (Cognitive Remediation plus Bridging) delivered via telehealth over 10 weeks with 20 sessions. It's designed to help veterans improve decision-making and manage stressors that could lead to suicidal thoughts by practicing problem-solving strategies.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves educational and therapeutic activities rather than medication, typical medical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or fatigue during mental exercises.
