Study Summary

The goal of this research is to evaluate whether group therapy combining Relaxation Response (RR) training and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a group format merits further investigation in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Specifically, the primary aim of this waitlist-controlled study is to gather preliminary data evaluating the effectiveness of RR-CBT group as treatment for patients with current MDD or a history of MDD, including patients who continue to be depressed despite taking antidepressants and patients who choose not to take antidepressants due to the fear of side effects and/or for personal reasons.

Primary Outcome

Improvement in depressive symptoms will be assessed using the resulting scores from the questionnaire forms Q-LES-Q-SF (Quality of Life Enjoyment Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form) and the HAM-D (Hamilton Depressive Scale).
