What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of various online psychological interventions, including guided and unguided cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based interventions, on improving mental well-being. Participants will be compared against a waitlist control group to assess the impact of these interventions on mental health symptoms. Given the long waiting times for traditional mental health services in Hong Kong, this approach aims to provide accessible mental health resources through digital technology. The study focuses on individuals with moderate to severe anxiety and depression symptoms, promoting self-care and mental health management.
