"The Development Of A New Digital Weapon In Fight Against Depression"
A treatment for depression using Emotional Faces Memory Task (EFMT) resulted in a significantly greater reduction of major depressive disorder (MDD) symptoms compared to a control group, according to clinical results. EMFT is a cognitive-emotional treatment that is delivered through an app on the Click Neurobehavioral Intervention platform. This treatment was developed Brian Iacoviello, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry, and Dennis S. Charney, MD, dean, both at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "The aim is to target the thinking abnormality we see in patients with MDD by activating these two nodes (emotion processing and cognitive control) simultaneously" said Dr. Iacoviello.
