ICBT for Psychological Symptoms Related to Economy

Ekorostudien - Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychological Symptoms Related to Economy

This study aims to investigate the effects of guided internet-based cogitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) on psychological symptoms related to economy. In this pilot study, the investigators investigate participants' psychological symptoms before and after, and one and two years after, they have received eight weeks of therapist guided ICBT.

The treatment the investigators investigate has been developed from earlier treatments used in studies that have shown to be effective for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, among others. Participants will in this pilot study undergo ICBT with weekly guidance by a therapist and in a within-group design, the investigators will compare their self-reported psychological symptoms from before and after the treatment. A one- and two-year follow-up are also planned.
