The investigators are doing this research study to find out if the Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) therapy will help subjects with their major depression treatment.
The investigators propose to conduct an initial feasibility study in a sample of patients in treatment for major depression using SMART. The intervention will be weekly group therapy session of SMART for 8 weeks duration. Once enrolled, participants will complete a Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnosis (SCID). The SCID will primarily serve to confirm a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder. Each study intervention group (3-4 groups) will be composed of 6-8 research participants per group. There will be no comparison group. The investigators aim to assess adherence with goal of 75% completion of the 8 sessions of SMART and of the homework assignments. Resilience will be measured with the Connor-Davidson resilience scale. Secondary outcomes will include subjective and objective clinical rating scales for major depression.

| Stress Management and Resiliency Training | Behavioral | Subjects will undergo an 8 week behavioral program. Treatment will consist of weekly group therapy sessions in small groups with core practices to apply the principles of SMART. |

| Change in Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale Score | The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), a 25-item scale, was developed to measure resiliency. CD-RISC has been evaluated and has been found to have good internal consistency (α = .89), test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = .87), and positive correlation with multiple related measures with ability to distinguish between participants with lesser and greater resilience. The scores can range from 0 to 100. The mean score in a general population sample was 80.7 and in psychiatric outpatients 68. A positive change with increasing scores will indicate improvement in resilience. | baseline, 8 weeks |

| Change in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression Score | The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) is a 17-item scale that evaluates depressed mood, vegetative and cognitive symptoms of depression, and co-morbid anxiety symptoms. The 17 items are rated on either a 5-point (0-4) or a 3-point (0-2) scale. In general, the 5 point scale items use a rating of 0=absent; 1=doubtful to mild; 2=mild to moderate; 3=moderate to severe; 4=very severe. The 3-point scale items use a rating of 0=absent; 1=probable or mild; 2=definite. The total HAMD-17 score ranges from 0 (not ill) to 52 (severely ill). A negative change indicates improvement in the subject's depression/anxiety symptoms, and a positive change indicates a worsening of the subject's depression/anxiety symptoms. |

| baseline, 8 weeks |
| Change in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Score | The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) is a self-administered 9-item scale which scores each of the 9 DSM-V criteria as "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day). PHQ-9 score ≥10 had a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 88% for major depression. PHQ-9 scores of 6-10,11-15, 16-20, and >20 represented mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression, respectively. | baseline, 8 weeks |
| Change in Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms Score | The 16-item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS) designed to assess the severity of depressive symptoms. The QIDS assesses all the criterion symptom domains designated by the American Psychiatry Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - 4th edition (DSM-IV) to diagnose a major depressive episode. The scores can range from 0 to 27, with 0 being no depression to 27 being very severe depression. Increasing scores indicate worsening depression and decreasing scores indicate improving depression. | baseline, 8 weeks |
| Change in Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Score | Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) is a 7 item self-report scale which scores the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) from "0"( not at all) to "3"( nearly every day). Cut points of 5, 10, and 15 represent mild, moderate, and severe levels of anxiety on the GAD-7. | baseline, 8 weeks |
| Change in Perceived Stress Scale Score | The Perceived Stress Scale is a 10 item self-administered scale that measures the degree to which one's life are appraised as stressful. The scores can range from 0( no stress) to 40( very high stress). Scores between 0-13 are considered low stress, 14-26- moderate stress and 27-40- high stress. A decreasing trend of scores would indicate improvement in perceived stress levels. | baseline, 8 weeks |
