Summary

This study tested whether internet-based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) can help people with stress-related disorders like adjustment disorder and exhaustion. 300 adults in Sweden received either online CBT or standard care over 12 weeks. The goal was to see if online therapy reduces stress and burnout symptoms, making treatment more accessible.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
internet-based cognitive behavior therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a widely accessible online treatment for stress-related disorders, reducing sick leave and improving mental health.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial comparing two active treatments, so results may show only modest differences. The therapy requires internet access and Swedish literacy, limiting generalizability.
