Twice the therapy, double the relief? new study tests faster sessions for depression
NCT ID NCT07408687
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find better ways to treat depression by testing two ideas: whether having therapy twice a week instead of once leads to better results, and whether matching the type of therapy (CBT or psychodynamic) to a person's personality helps. Researchers will enroll 200 adults with major depressive disorder and track their symptoms over time. The goal is to improve how quickly and effectively therapy works.
