Evaluation of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-Based Narrative Intervention for Individuals Taking Antidepressants

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Depressive Symptoms

In brief

This study aims to compare the efficacy of LifeStories on depression symptomatology compared to antidepressant treatment alone, in addition to examining the effect of the intervention on health-related quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an online ACT-based narrative intervention (Lifestories) or the waitlist control condition (antidepressant treatment alone). It is hypothesized that participants who receive the LifeStories will result in decreased depression and increased quality of life, general functioning and decreased psychological inflexibility compared to the waitlist group.
