ADePT-RU: Anxiety & Depression
The Anxiety, Depression and Psychological Therapies research unit conducts cutting-edge, evidence-based research aiming to improve our understanding of treating anxiety and depression in adults and young people.
About ADePT
ADePT was formed in 2020 as a joint project between Greater Manchester Mental Health (GMMH) and the metacognitive therapy research group led by Professor Wells at the University of Manchester.
The Anxiety, Depression and Psychological Therapies Research Unit (ADePT-RU) conducts cutting-edge, evidenced-based research aiming to improve our understanding and treatment of mental health disorders in adults and children. Currently our research is testing treatments for anxiety and depression in patients with cardiovascular disease, and treating anxiety and depression in burns and plastic surgery patients, evaluating home-based therapies, and transdiagnostic group therapy approaches in adults and young people.
To make our research happen we work with a range of leading academic and clinical partners along with patients and members of the public to ensure our research is in line with patient’s needs and provides direct patient benefits.
