First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program that combines doctor care, digital tools, virtual reality, and school-based support to help teens and adults in Morocco with depression and anxiety. About 146 participants will be split into two groups: one gets the new program, the other gets usual care. The goal is to see if the program reduces symptoms and improves quality of life over 6 months.
