HealthMedia CARE® for Depression
Products & Services
HealthMedia CARE® for Depression is the most clinically sophisticated self-help program available today, and can help those with even the mildest forms of depression.
HealthMedia CARE® for Depression emulates a behavioral health coaching session, without the coach, to deliver an individually personalized depression management plan.
Based on sound clinical evidence, the program helps users to:
- Monitor symptoms and measure progress
- Gain confidential, 24/7 access to coping strategies and tools
- Learn relapse prevention strategies
Program features include:
- Setting attainable goals customized for each participant
- Changing negative thought patterns
- Cognitive behavioral tools and techniques
- Relaxation exercises
- Evaluation of lifestyle habits and recommendations for change
Measurable benefits:
- Reduced health-related costs and ancillary medical costs
- Improved productivity
- Increased medication and treatment compliance
- Reduced disability claims
Depression results in significantly higher medical costs due to lack of self-care, non-compliance with medication and treatment, and high-risk behaviors such as smoking and substance abuse. Additionally, HealthMedia CARE® for Depression helps individuals manage co-morbidities and co-behavioral issues, with chronic conditions such as diabetes and CHD. As a result, no disease management program is complete without a scalable depression program.
