This study is testing a treatment called Behavioral Activation delivered through telehealth for teenagers aged 12-18 who are experiencing depression. Behavioral Activation is a type of therapy that helps people increase their involvement in enjoyable and meaningful activities to improve their mood. All participants will receive this treatment for 8-10 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in depressive symptoms using questionnaires like the Patient Health Questionnaire 9-modified for adolescents (PHQ-A) and the Dimensional Anhedonia Rating Scale (DARS) to see how well the treatment works. The study aims to enroll 250 participants and is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
