Study Summary
This trial will compare CBT to educational treatment in order to see which is more effective in preventing depression in children whose parents have a history of depression.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for families with at least one child aged 10-15, where a parent has experienced depression during the child's life. Parents must consent to their children's participation. Families are excluded if a parent has bipolar or schizophrenia, or the child has conduct disorder or pervasive developmental disorder.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?

What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves therapy and education without medication, there may not be physical side effects. However, discussing sensitive topics could potentially cause emotional discomfort.
