This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new treatment called mSITE (mobile Social Interaction Therapy by Exposure) that combines brief in-person therapy sessions with a smartphone app that sends you reminders and suggestions based on where you are, plus regular phone coaching calls. The goal is to help people with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and related conditions gradually increase their social interactions and feel less alone.
Many people with serious mental illness experience significant social isolation, which can worsen symptoms and reduce quality of life. This new treatment combines proven therapy methods with modern technology to make it easier and less overwhelming to reach out and connect with others.
