This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing logotherapy, a type of counseling that helps people discover meaning and purpose in their lives. Researchers want to see if logotherapy can help teenagers with mood disorders (like depression or bipolar disorder) feel less depressed and anxious, and reduce thoughts of suicide. The study will compare teenagers who receive logotherapy plus their regular psychiatric care to teenagers who receive only their regular psychiatric care.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for teenagers, and there is not enough research on whether logotherapy can help prevent suicide in young people with mood disorders. This trial aims to fill that gap by testing whether this counseling approach can reduce suicidal thoughts and improve overall mental health in teenagers.

If you join this study, you will either receive logotherapy sessions or continue with your regular psychiatric care. The logotherapy group will meet with a counselor once every two weeks for three months (six total sessions, each lasting 1–2 hours) to explore what gives your life meaning and purpose. All participants will complete questionnaires at the beginning, during, and after the study to measure changes in depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and sense of meaning in life.
