Efficacy of Behavioral Therapy Among Depression Patients: A Randomised Control Trial

Abstract

Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders worldwide, affecting millions of people and greatly reducing
quality of life, productivity, and functioning. Whereas pharmacological treatments were once the standard of care, behavioral
therapy, in particular, has evolved into a strong evidence-based treatment with proven efficacy in response to depressive
symptoms. In this review, we systematically look into the use of behavior therapy in the treatment of depression by focusing on
randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
