Online cognitive behavioural therapy can help people with depression, and for those with mild depression, they may not even need to be guided by a therapist, according to Australian and international research. The analysis of previous research found that online cognitive behavioural therapy which was guided by a therapist was more effective than unguided online cognitive behavioural therapy for people with moderate to severe depression. But, for people with milder depression, both guided and unguided online cognitive behavioural therapy performed similarly. The authors say this shows that many people with depression may still benefit from the online treatment without a doctor's guidance, which could considerably expand treatment coverage worldwide.
