Lifestyle Intervention for Symptoms of Depression wIth App Support in General Practice

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether a smartphone app can help reduce symptoms of depression by supporting healthy lifestyle changes and encouraging self-monitoring in adults who visit their general practitioner with symptoms of depression. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does a personalized lifestyle intervention delivered through the app, in addition to regular care, reduce depression symptoms more effectively than regular care alone? Is this approach more cost-effective than regular care alone? Researchers will compare patients who use the app alongside their regular care to patients who receive regular care without the app, to see whether the app leads to better outcomes. Participants who use the app will: Complete a lifestyle questionnaire focused on six themes: mental wellbeing, use of harmful substances, social relationships, healthy eating, sleep, and physical activity. Set personal goals based on their results and receive tailored lifestyle advice. Track their depression symptoms regularly within the app to support ongoing care. Have follow-up conversations with their general practitioner or mental health nurse to discuss their progress. Fill out questionnaires about their symptoms and experiences during the study.

Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Women with Perimenopausal Anxiety

The goal of this clinical trial is to design an online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) program and to learn if it can treat anxiety in women transitioning into menopause (perimenopause). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is our online psychotherapy program a practical and acceptable means of managing anxiety during perimenopause? * Does our online psychotherapy program work in improving anxiety levels during perimenopause? Participants will participate in weekly e-CBT module sessions tailored to perimenopausal anxiety and will be given weekly feedback on assignments from trained care providers through a secure online platform. Participants will complete questionnaires at the beginning, middle, and at end of the study, as well as at the three and six-month follow-up.
