Can resetting your body clock beat depression faster?

This study is testing whether a set of non-drug treatments called 'chronotherapy' can help people feel better from depression more quickly. Chronotherapy involves carefully timed sleep changes and bright light therapy, aiming to reset the body's internal clock. The researchers will compare these techniques, added to standard care, against standard care alone in 76 adults starting treatment for depression in Norway. The main goal is to see if symptoms improve after just one week.
