Summary
This trial tests a mobile app called MAYA that helps middle-aged and older adults with anxiety or depression. The app teaches coping skills from cognitive behavioral therapy. Participants will use the app regularly over several weeks. The study aims to see if the app is easy to use and effective in reducing symptoms.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for middle-aged and older adults, aged 40 or above, who have been diagnosed with anxiety or depression. They must score at least a 4 on the ADIS scale and perform within normal range on a mental status exam. People can't join if they've started psychotherapy recently, plan to harm themselves, changed psychiatric meds in the last 3 months, or have a history of bipolar or psychotic disorders.
What is being tested?
The study tests the MAYA mobile app designed to help manage anxiety and depression through cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. Participants will use it twice weekly for six weeks and attend check-ins to assess their progress and how they feel about the app.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves using an educational mobile application rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, users may experience discomfort if confronting challenging emotions during therapy sessions.

Other Research
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common treatment for anxiety disorders that works by helping patients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors, replacing them with more positive and realistic ones. This process involves cognitive restructuring, where patients learn to reframe their thoughts, and behavioral activation, where they engage in activities that reduce anxiety.
Mindfulness-based techniques, often integrated into CBT, teach patients to focus on the present moment and accept their thoughts without judgment. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for patients as it empowers them to actively participate in their treatment, leading to better management of their anxiety symptoms and improved overall well-being.
