Filter by:Globally, the rates of young adults and college students reporting symptoms of depression have been rising over the past decade. There are major obstacles being faced in mental healthcare that prevents many individuals from receiving sufficient and quality mental healthcare services. Current treatments for depression are not able to target the underlying factors causing the disorder. In addition, individuals with depressive symptoms face issues with accessibility and social stigma. Hence, there has been increasing interest in behavioural and cognitive mental health interventions with the potential for remote applications. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of using an emoji-based attention bias modification training paradigm on depressive symptom severity compared with a deep breathing practice protocol, a sham training protocol and a control group. It is expected that participants who undergo the attention bias modification training and deep breathing training paradigms will have reduced depressive symptom scores, changes in attention bias indices, and changes in event-related potential component measures compared to participants who did not undergo the interventions.
The present project aims at testing the feasibility of an app-based system called "EmoGuía" for routine outcome monitoring of adult patients with emotional disorders while they are administered a self-applied online transdiagnostic psychological intervention.
The present project aims at testing the clinical effectiveness of an app-based system called Multicentre Pain Monitor for routine outcome monitoring of adult patients with emotional disorders while they are administered a self-applied transdiagnostic psychological intervention (Unified Protocol).
The general objective of this study is to determine the indicators of suitability, clinical utility and satisfaction of the transdiagnostic online intervention for the treatment of emotional disorders and those derived from stress and trauma in a Mexican community sample. The specific aims are: - To Carry out a screening evaluation from the transdiagnostic model by evaluating clinical indicators (depression, anxiety, acute / post-traumatic stress, emotional regulation strategies, intolerance to uncertainty) and that allow determining the frequency, intensity and severity of cases identified by type of emotional problem. - Measure the fidelity of the use of the intervention manual in each treatment condition. - Evaluate the degree of satisfaction, acceptance, complexity and modality of the transdiagnostic intervention. - To know the degree of suitability of the transdiagnostic intervention from the point of view of therapists and supervisors in relation to the problems of the studied sample and the recommendations for its improvement. - To compare the clinical utility of the transdiagnostic intervention via the internet for the treatment of emotional disorders and those derived from stress and trauma against the efficacy of the CBT intervention and the waiting list group.
The primary aim of the study is to investigate whether a novel mobile App-based behavioral intervention in pregnant women can: (1) prevent and/or decrease the incidence of perinatal mood disorders (2) decrease the severity and/or duration of perinatal mood disorders in affected participants (3) increase access of pregnant women to behavioral intervention and support tools (4) increase the satisfaction of pregnant women with their prenatal care.
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of a short term compensatory cognitive group intervention - the Compensatory Cognitive Training (CCT) among people with severe mental illnesses, receiving ambulatory treatment
The present pilot study with a multiple baseline experimental desing will verify the feasibility and clinical utility of the Unified Protocol, applied in an online group format in a mental health setting of the Spanish national health system to patients waiting for bariatric surgery with diagnosis or symptoms of Emotional Disorders
The mental health sector is being called upon to develop and implement interventions for youth that attend to gender, age and cultural diversity (Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2016). The proposed project outlines the development and feasibility testing of a culturally driven transdiagnostic psychosocial intervention for South Asian women aged 16-24 years. We will recruit 30 participants to complete the 12 week psychosocial intervention. Pre, midpoint and post evaluations will be completed to asses change in mental health, self esteem and values, and also qualitative feedback on participant experiences of the intervention.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of remedial cognitive intervention using The Functional Brain Trainer VR (FBT, Intendo ©) to improve cognitive functioning, participation in daily life occupations, and functional capacity in the field of IADL among people with affective disorders receiving inpatient and daycare mental-health services.
The objective of this study is to determine whether the practice of a non-drug related intervention technique (behavioral modification technique consisting of a combination of breathing exercises, cold exposure and meditation) has an effect on long-term cannabinoid receptor function in a control group as well as in a group of patients suffering from bipolar affective disorder (BAD). Specifically, the objective of this study is to test whether the applied behavioral modification technique is able to alter cannabinoid receptor density in brain areas that modulate mood and motivational drive (such as vmPFC, PAG, VTA, amygdala and OFC). The investigators believe that these studies will form the impetus for a better understanding and deployment of non-drug related treatment methods in patients with various depressive symptoms. In particular, it appears that the proposed behavioral modification technique might be a powerful, currently under-appreciated, method to positively modulate the brain's own cannabinoid system.
