Summary

This trial aims to compare two mobile CBT programs for anxiety/depression. Participants use Maya app 2 days/wk, 20 min/day. Assessments include questionnaires & optional MRI/EEG. Investigators think personalized program can be just as effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 18-25 with anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder (currently in a depressive episode), who haven't started new psychotherapy or changed medication doses in the last 12 weeks. It's not for those with psychotic disorders, current manic episodes, or immediate suicide risk.
What is being tested?
The study compares two mobile apps delivering cognitive behavioral therapy: a standard version and a personalized one that introduces skills faster. Participants will use an app twice weekly for six weeks and undergo assessments including questionnaires and optional brain scans.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive therapy through an app, there are no direct physical side effects like you'd expect from medication. However, discussing mental health can sometimes cause emotional discomfort.
