Measurement-Based Care for Depression and Anxiety
This study is looking at how well "Measurement-Based Care" (MBC) works for adults experiencing depression or anxiety. MBC involves routinely tracking your symptoms and discussing them with your therapist to guide your treatment. Researchers want to see if MBC, when added to psychotherapy (talk therapy), is more effective than psychotherapy alone or a waitlist. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older and have symptoms of depression or anxiety, with specific scores on questionnaires (PHQ-9, GAD-7, and BASE-6). The study will measure your symptoms weekly for about 3 to 4 months to see if they improve.
