Australian Schizophrenia Research Bank Black Dog Institute: Research study into the phenomenological, neurobiological and molecular foundations of melancholic depression -
Depression is a widespread and disabling mental disorder. People with depression experience weeks of sadness, loss of interest, low energy, inability to concentrate, and feelings of worthlessness. The good news is that depression is treatable!
CBM is a new computerised intervention that aims to modify negative thinking styles that can impact upon how one feels. Currently we are recruiting individuals experiencing depression to participate in a new trial of a CBM procedure in combination with our Sadness program. This is an 8-11 week free program involving CBM training and 6 lessons, delivered via computer.
