No results posted yet for this study

Summary

At present, there are no established treatments for depression or anxiety in adolescents with cancer, creating an important clinical and research gap. Fortunately, there is now substantial evidence documenting the efficacy of psychotherapy in the treatment of depressed and anxious adolescents in the general population.

Behavioral activation therapy

Behavioral activation therapy (BAT) is a brief, manualized therapy that has shown efficacy in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in several controlled trials patients (see review in Dimidjan et al., Ann Rev Clin Psychol, 2010, and Chu, Brian C., et al. Cognitive and Behavioral Practice, 2009.), including adult cancer patients (Hopkoet al., 2009; Hopko et al., 2011).
