    Abstract

    Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) has a highly recurrent nature; chances of relapse rise up to 90%. This study examines the effect of adding an e-mental health intervention with SMS based monitoring, called Mobile Cognitive Therapy (M-CT) to treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone in preventing relapse. M-CT consists of an online version of preventive cognitive therapy (PCT) based on effective face to face PCT (Bockting et al., 2005, Bockting et al., 2009) with therapist support and SMS based monitoring of mood. Remitted participants of recurrent MDD (N=268) are randomized to (1) TAU versus (2) M-CT + TAU. Primary outcome is time until relapse. Secondary outcome is symptom severity and cost effectiveness. In this presentation preliminary results of this study and the study design will be presented, also there will be a short demonstration of the new e-mental health intervention.
