Abstract in brief

  • Behavioral activation treatment for depression, specifically activity scheduling, involves patients monitoring their mood and daily activities, increasing pleasant activities, and enhancing positive interactions with their environment.
  • The meta-analysis of 16 studies with 780 participants showed that activity scheduling has a large positive effect on reducing depression, with an effect size of 0.87, and these benefits were maintained over time, with minimal differences compared to cognitive therapy.
  • Overall, activity scheduling is a simple, time-efficient, and effective treatment option for depression that does not require complex skills from either patients or therapists and produces sustained benefits.]
