Filter by:The purpose of this study is to develop a culturally and linguistically appropriate online cognitive behavioral intervention program-- with therapist guidance -- for Hong Kong Chinese adults suffering from major depressive disorder with mild to moderate depressive symptoms, and examine the effectiveness of this program in reducing their depressive symptoms and improving their mental health. The 3- and 6-month maintenance effect after 3 months and 6 months will also be tested.
Researchers are trying to find out if a Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART-D) therapy will help with major depression treatment.
The purpose of this study is to explore if Bright Light Therapy (BLT) as augmentation of depression treatment on an acute psychiatric floor is feasible, helps alleviate depressive symptoms, improve functioning, and decrease length of stay on the psychiatric floor.
The current study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptance and clinical outcomes of a practical high-dose aiTBS protocol, including tapering treatments and symptom-based relapse prevention treatments, in patients with unipolar depression previously responsive to ECT and patients needing urgent treatment due to symptom severity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This study seeks to investigate the levels of parental stress across different demographic subgroups in the general parental population during the strict social distancing government-initiated non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also seeks to examine the predictors of parental stress rates related to these non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's). In addition, the research will investigate the association between parental stress associated and psychopathology symptoms (i.e., depression and generalized anxiety). The aim of the project is to: - Inform the policymakers, the general public, scientists, and health practitioners about the psychological associations of the COVID-19-related government-initiated measures on parental stress, with special focus on the school and kindergarten lockdowns. - Provide a foundation for policymakers and health-care professionals to employ interventions that protect families against possibly increased psychological stressors. - Help policymakers and healthcare professionals to better understand the association of demographic variables and other predictors on parental stress and parent-child dysfunction, which information necessary for evaluating the psychological impact of NPIs on parental stress and thus the framework under which decisions about school/kindergarten lockdowns are made.
Postnatal depression is an important problematic in French population with approximatively 10 -20% of women who suffer from postnatal depression. This pathology may have strong negative impact on both women and neonate's health. The women's satisfaction degree in front of childbirth is an important factor associated with postnatal depression since women unsatisfied of their childbirth and/or women with a complicated childbirth are more encline to suffer from postnatal depression. It is likely that the actual context of Covid 19 pandemia and the change in obstetrical cares organization may have a negative impact on women's satisfaction about their childbirth and so a negative impact on the risk of postnatal depression.
This study will compare the effect of three transcranial photobiomodulation (t-PBM) doses (high, middle, and low irradiance) to sham t-PBM on PFC CBF as assessed with fMRI (BOLD) in this multi-center, phase I, double-blinded, dose-ranging, controlled, crossover study of 30 subjects with MDD. All eligible participants will undergo four sessions of t-PBM during fMRI so that they experience irradiances of 50, 300 and 700 mW/cm2 as well as sham. The order of dose administration will be randomized and t-PBM will be administered with the LightForce® EXPi Deep Tissue Laser TherapyTM System, Transcranial PhotoBioModulation-1000 (tPBM-2.0).
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate if the effectiveness of desvenlafaxine succinate sustained-release tablet (50 mg/day) used for 8 weeks is not inferior to duloxetine hydrochloride enteric-coated capsule (60 mg/day) in adult patients with major depressive disorder.
This is a sham-controlled, randomized trial for patients with MDD to identify the effects of TBS on depressive symptomatology, brain function, and peripheral biomarkers in MDD patients.
Background Computerized cognitive behavioural therapy (cCBT) is proven to be an effective self-help tool for preventing depression and suicide. Patient adherence is one of the components that the effectiveness of cCBT self-help tools are dependent on and that needs to be researched for understanding and maximizing the effectiveness of computer-based interventions for depression and suicide. Aims The aims of this study were to compare the adherence of iFightDepression (iFD) online tool user patients with and without an extra weekly phone call consultation and to test predictors of adherence.
