They are based on established manuals of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which shows excellent results in the treatment of mental illnesses worldwide. In order to record the course of symptoms, Selfapy works with validated symptom questionnaires (e.g. PHQ-9). Five RCT studies are currently underway at the Charité Berlin, the University of Giessen and the University of Heidelberg. The evaluation of the depression parameter by the Charité Berlin shows a significant decrease in symptoms by an average of 36% after completion of the 12-week course compared to the control group.
