This study is looking at how a smartphone app called Kandoo might help young people aged 13 to 25 who have symptoms of mild-to-moderate depression. Kandoo is a digital, game-like tool that helps you track your activities. Researchers want to see if using Kandoo along with an 8-week behavioral activation treatment works better at reducing depressive symptoms and improving overall functioning than the same treatment using paper and pencil. You can join if you are currently a patient at CMI clinic or Fort Health Virtual Outpatient Mental Health Clinic and have specific symptoms of depression. The current status of this study is unclear.
