Brief description Depression is the leading cause of disability in Australia. Many people do not receive professional help and prefer self help methods to antidepressants or face to face therapy. A significant number turn to Internet support groups. The Internet also has great potential for offering self-guided automated web-based therapy. This research investigates whether Internet support groups and self-help web therapy are helpful treatments for depression.
