Summary

This study tested whether adding mental health care (like therapy and education) to standard job support helps people on sick leave due to anxiety or depression return to work sooner. Over 600 participants in Denmark were randomly assigned to one of two programs or usual care. The main goal was to see how quickly they could get back to work for at least four weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Integrated mental health care (stepped care including psychoeducation, bibliotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy) plus vocational rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help people with anxiety or depression return to work faster and more sustainably.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, so results are known. The intervention may not work for everyone, and benefits depend on local healthcare and job support systems.
