Summary

This study tests a new type of talk therapy called Process Based Therapy (PBT) for people with depression or anxiety. Instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, PBT uses daily mood check-ins from a smartphone app to help therapists tailor treatment to each person's changing needs. The trial compares PBT to standard therapy and also looks at how therapists make decisions when they have this extra information.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that tailoring therapy to a person's daily emotional patterns leads to better mental health outcomes than standard talk therapy.
What could go wrong
