Summary

Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has an effective evidence base in the west and is recommended by the national bodies in many countries in the West. Our group has adapted CBT for depression and psychosis in Pakistan for use with local clients. Initial evaluations have found that these therapies are effective. However, due to the financial restraints it would be useful if the investigators find that brief version of the CBT might be applicable and effective in non western cultures. Therefore in this study, the investigators will be testing effectiveness of brief version of culturally adapted CBT for depression in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in Pakistan.
