Summary
This study evaluates the effect of a computerized intervention for depressive symptoms called Affective Bias Modification (ABM). A third of the patients will receive active ABM, a third will receive sham ABM and a third will undergo assessment only. The study will investigate if rumination mediates the effect of the intervention and investigate if specific symptom profiles affect the effect of the intervention.
