This trial is testing a new smartphone app designed to help treat depression.

Over 8 weeks, you'll work through guided lessons and homework assignments on the app, with support from an AI coach, to help improve your mood and mental health.
Many people with depression need better treatment options that are easy to access and don't require frequent in-person appointments. This study explores whether this treatment can help more people get relief from depression symptoms, and researchers also want to understand how it works in the brain.
