The way the brain deals with emotions may be a key part of depression, and research shows that the brain pathways involved in this emotional control may be disrupted in people with depression, leaving them stuck in a cycle of negative thinking.
CARE for MDD is a novel treatment approach that targets these brain pathways and is designed to change the way people process and respond to emotions, breaking the cycle of negative thinking.
What is CARE for MDD?
CARE for MDD is a smartphone app (application) that has been developed to support patients with depressive disorder (also known as clinical depression or major depressive disorder). The CARE for MDD app is formed of three key parts:
Brain exercises
Therapeutic lessons
Text messages and in-app notificationsHow often should I use it?
Treatment is designed to fit in to your daily schedule.
The flexibility of using a smartphone app means that you can choose what time of day to engage with your treatment.
For example, a typical week of CARE for MDD exercises might follow the pattern below:
Lessons will be unlocked on your app three times per week for 6 weeks. Once completed, each lesson will be available on demand for a further 4 weeks after the initial 6 week period.
