New hope for tough depression: drug plus therapy combo tested
NCT ID NCT06431386
Summary
This study aimed to see if combining a fast-acting depression medication (esketamine) with a specific talk therapy (behavioral activation) works better than the medication alone for people whose depression hasn't responded to other treatments. It involved a small group of adults with major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder. The goal was to use the medication's quick mood boost to help people learn and practice new, positive behaviors through therapy, hoping for more lasting recovery.
