Internet-Based Interventions for MDD

Effectiveness of Internet-Based Interventions for Treatment Compliance and Outcomes of Major Depressive Disorder

The acute and remission depression patients of 18-65 years old were recruited. At the time of enrollment, the demographic, symptomatic, neuropsychological and medication adherence data was collected. After the completion of the baseline assessment and examination, the patients were given antidepressant treatment or antidepressant treatment combined with Internet-based interventions. Clinical evaluation was performed at 1, 3 months (acute patients) and 6, 12 months (remission patients) after treatment, including the medication adherence, therapeutic efficacy, recurrence rate and functional rehabilitation. Through above work, this research is expected to provide clinicians with a set of Internet generalized technologies to improve the compliance and clinical outcomes of patients with depression, and to provide patients with treatment and management of the entire disease cycle.
