Condition: Major Depressive Disorder · Severe Depressive Episode Without Psychotic Symptoms · Sponsor: University of Bern
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to enhance the Friendship Bench intervention with antidepressants in adults with moderate to severe depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the combination of the Friendship Bench with nurse-led antidepressants prescribing superior to the Friendship Bench alone? 2. What are the barriers and enablers for the prescription of antidepressants by nurses in primary care? Type of study: Randomized controlled superiority trial Participants will be randomly selected and allocated into the control arm or intervention arm. Participants in the control arm will receive six sessions of the Friendship Bench Problem Solving Therapy while those in the intervention arm will receive the Friendship Bench intervention plus Fluoxetine (Sertraline for breastfeeding women).
