ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating the effects of Well-Being Therapy (WBT) on people who have Chronic Insomnia along with symptoms of depression. The goal is to see if this type of therapy can help improve sleep and mood in individuals facing these challenges. The study is currently looking for participants, and anyone aged 8 years or older who has had insomnia for at least three months and shows signs of depression may be eligible to join. Participants will need to agree to take part and provide written consent.

If you or someone you know is interested, you should know that there are some important criteria to consider. For example, people with severe physical illnesses, major mental health issues, or certain sleep disorders won't be able to participate. Additionally, those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or currently receiving other psychological therapies are excluded. Participants can expect to engage in WBT sessions, which are designed to enhance well-being and hopefully lead to better sleep and improved mood. This study represents a hopeful step towards finding effective treatments for those struggling with both insomnia and depression.
