Summary

The purpose of the study is to test whether changes in behavioral patterns are related to changes in depression. Depression is a psychological condition that involves persistent sad mood and/or an inability to enjoy pleasurable activities. Very stable behavioral patterns may be related to symptoms of depression. The aim of this study is to learn more about the relationship between symptoms of depression and behavioral patterns that are collected via global positioning system location data from a smart phone.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Brief modified behavioral activation

The clinician will deliver psychoeducation about the nature of depression and the rationale behind the behavioral activation model (i.e. increasing level of activation can begin a positive feedback cycle of reward and improvements in mood state). Participants will be encouraged to add new, enjoyable activities to their daily schedules. Clinicians will emphasize the importance of novelty and increased engagement with the surrounding environment in the psychoeducational portion and in activity scheduling.
