A study by researchers from NIMHANS and the University of York, the United Kingdom, aimed at addressing the increasing burden of depression and anxiety in patients with non-communicable diseases (NCD), has found brief psychological therapies such as behavioural activation (BA) to be effective in management of these issues.
The study that has been accepted for publication in a peer reviewed journal was done to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of BA in the Indian community setting where the burden of NCDs is high.
