Blended CBT

Internet based blended CBT depression treatment combines individual face-to-face cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with CBT delivered through an Internet based treatment platform with mobile phone components. The core components of the CBT treatment are: (1) psychoeducation, (2) behavioural activation, (3) cognitive restructuring, and (4) relapse prevention.

BEHAVIORAL

Treatment as usual

Treatment as usual (TAU) is defined as the routine care that subjects receive when they are diagnosed with depression in the secondary care system. The investigators will not interfere with treatment as usual but they will monitor carefully which health care services are utilized by usual care patients using patient records and through self-report.
