Summary

This study tested whether a smartphone-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program could help adults with psoriasis who also have depression symptoms. 30 participants used the app for 8 weeks with guidance from a coach. The goal was to see if people would engage with the program and if it improved their mood and satisfaction with care.
