Numerous scientific studies have found that CBT is more effective than antidepressant medication for mild depression. CBT and antidepressant medication are equally effective in treating moderate depression. There is also a benefit in adding CBT to the use of antidepressant medication in those suffering from severe depression.
Note: While Cloud Clinic is an effective program for depressed mood, we recommend that you use it in adjunct to treatment from a health professional. This is not a stand-alone treatment program for individuals with moderate to severe levels of depressed mood. This app aims to assist users to implement CBT strategies in between sessions with their therapist and/or doctor.
