Effectiveness of a transdiagnostic internet-based protocol for the treatment of emotional disorders versus treatment as usual in specialized care: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emotional disorders (depression and anxiety disorders) are highly prevalent mental health problems.
