Summary

This study looks at how people with depression or anxiety respond to different types of psychotherapy—individual sessions or an online program. It aims to find clues that predict who benefits most from each approach. By understanding these factors, doctors may better match patients to the right therapy, improving outcomes and making care more personal.
