So this study isn't even really showing that CBT doesn't work for reducing depression, as such -- it's showing that young people don't want to engage with a CBT app for reducing depression.
This isn't surprising really - young people are busy and tired and want to relax in their free time

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.
My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
