Effect of psychotherapy for depression on quality of life: meta-analysis
Overview
This meta-analysis examines the impact of psychotherapy on quality of life (QoL) for adults with clinical depression or elevated symptoms, drawing from 44 randomized clinical trials. The study reports small to moderate improvements in global QoL and mental health components, alongside a small but significant effect on physical health. It concludes that psychotherapy positively influences patient well-being, noting that these gains are not entirely accounted for by reductions in depressive symptom severity.
