Summary

This study tested a 10-week, at-home cognitive training program for veterans with major depression and a history of suicide attempts. The program, delivered via video calls, focused on improving decision-making and problem-solving skills. Only 9 veterans participated, so results are very preliminary, but researchers hope it may ease depression and reduce suicide risk.
