New therapy using virtual reality for young adults with anxiety and depression

This trial is testing a new therapy called Identity-Based Transdiagnostic Therapy (IBTT) for young adults struggling with anxiety and depression. IBTT combines talk therapy with virtual reality technology to help you explore your sense of self and identity in an immersive way. The researchers want to see if this new approach works better than a tried-and-tested therapy called the Unified Protocol.

Anxiety and depression are very common in young adults, and many people experience both at the same time. While existing treatments work for some people, researchers are looking for ways to make therapy more engaging and effective for young people by using new technology and approaches that speak to how they think about themselves.
