I think it would be useful to know the percentage of women with depression who we would expect to be depression-free after a six month period without any intervention.
Sam Glover- We looked at this with a control study and found that a statistically significant number of women were depression-free after completing StrongMinds therapy versus those that received no treatment. Additionally, using the PHQ-9 (an international standardized tool to assess depression), we saw an average difference of 12 pts after the conclusion of therapy. To contextualize that, in western countries, a change of 4 pts is considered significant in terms of depression recovery.
