What this trial studies
This study investigates a digital transdiagnostic work-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program aimed at patients with common mental health disorders, specifically those on sick leave or work assessment allowance. The program seeks to improve return to work rates, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and enhance everyday functioning. Participants will provide feedback on their experiences and the utility of the treatment, while the study will also explore factors influencing treatment adherence and outcomes. The research aims to address the significant impact of mental health issues on work absenteeism.

Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve the return to work rates and overall mental health of patients suffering from anxiety and depression.
