Summary

This study looks at whether a type of therapy called Behavioral Activation (BA) can change the habit of repetitive negative thinking (rumination) in people with major depression. About 120 adults with current depression will receive 12 BA sessions over 11 weeks. Researchers will track symptom changes during and after treatment, and at a 6-month follow-up, to understand how and for whom this therapy works best.
