Course Description: Patients with chronic health conditions and a comorbid diagnosis(es) of depression and/or anxiety frequently encounter mental health treatment barriers. Treatment barriers may include issues pertaining to mobility, scheduling and stigma. The aforementioned barriers are illustrative, not exhaustive, of the potential obstacles these patients may endure. The efficacy of internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) as an effective treatment modality for this demographic, and alternate treatment approach to traditional face-to-face therapy, was examined in the accompanying study. Additionally, improvement in secondary outcomes relative to acceptance, catastrophizing, and self-efficacy was observed.
