Depression treatment research, explained
8 open-access depression treatment studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- Deprexis online therapy reduced depression scores
An integrative online program (Deprexis) improved BDI depression symptoms versus delayed treatment in a large German internet RCT.
- Mediterranean diet and depression risk
Overall Mediterranean diet assignment did not significantly reduce depression; a nuts arm suggested benefit in diabetes subgroup analyses.
- Diet quality and depression risk
In the SUN cohort, higher adherence to Mediterranean, pro-vegetarian, and AHEI-2010 diet scores tracked with lower risk of incident depression over about 8.5 years.
- Can a CBT phone app help stubborn depression?
Adding a smartphone CBT program to a medication switch improved depressive symptoms more than switching antidepressants alone.
- Wine, alcohol, and depression
In PREDIMED adults, low-to-moderate alcohol—especially wine—associated with lower incident depression risk versus abstaining, while heavy drinking looked riskier.
- iCBT for depression in diabetes
Unmodified clinician-supported iCBT beat treatment-as-usual on depression, anxiety, distress, and diabetes-specific distress in adults with diabetes.
- Depression linked to C. difficile infection risk
Adults with major depression had higher CDI rates, and specific antidepressants plus living alone/widowhood also associated with infection risk.
- Antidepressant adverse events cohort
In 238,963 adults aged 20–64 with depression, most used antidepressants and several common agents associated with higher fall rates versus non-use.
