What is being tested?
The study tests if giving primary care doctors access to remote internet-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (eCBT) can improve MDD treatment outcomes. Participants will receive eCBT through their smart devices or computers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves therapy rather than medication, typical side effects associated with drugs may not apply. However, participants might experience emotional discomfort during therapy sessions as they address personal issues.

Other Research
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its remote variant, eCBT, work by helping patients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their depression. This therapeutic approach aims to break the cycle of negative thinking and behavior, thereby improving mood and functioning.
Pharmacotherapy, often involving selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain, which can help improve mood and emotional stability. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for patients as it empowers them to actively participate in their treatment, recognize the importance of adherence, and set realistic expectations for their recovery process.
