Study Summary

This trial is testing a new kind of therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT), to see if it's more effective than a control group (a wait-list control followed by online CBT intervention after the wait period) in treating depression and anxiety.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with a primary diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder and mild to moderate anxiety symptoms. Participants must score within certain ranges on depression and anxiety scales (BDI-II, BAI).

What are the potential side effects?

While traditional side effects like those seen with medications are not expected, participants may experience emotional discomfort or distress as they engage with personal issues during therapy sessions.
