Löbner M, et al. - Considering the potential of self-guided computerized cognitive behavior therapy (cCBT) to be a feasible alternative to current first-step treatment approaches for depression, researchers assessed its effectiveness and acceptability as an adjunct element of GP care. From within a cluster randomized controlled trial, they recruited 647 primary care patients with symptoms of mild to moderately severe depression from 112 GP practices GPs were grouped based on whether they provided cCBT (internet intervention) plus treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU alone. Results indicated that cCBT was effective for reducing depressive symptoms for mild to moderately severe depression. They recommend making efforts to increase awareness about the potential of such freely accessible treatment options among GPs and patients.
