Summary

This study examines whether therapist-guided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) works well and saves money when used in routine healthcare for moderate depression, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. About 800 adults with these conditions will receive up to nine online therapy sessions with guidance from a therapist. Researchers will track symptom changes, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness across multiple clinics.
