Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment for Depression and Anxiety in Adults

To conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a culturally adapted Unified Protocol (UP) for transdiagnostic psychological treatment in adults (age 18 and above) with anxiety and/or depression to assess the feasibility and acceptability of UP treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To assess the estimates of likely recruitment rates including how many approached, volunteered, screened, retained, and complete the treatment and what is the dropout rate? 2. To what degree do participants adhere and engage with the treatment procedures? 3. To what extent do the participants feel satisfied with the treatment? 4. To what degree do participants complete self-report and clinician-administered measures of anxiety, depression, functional impairment, and emotion regulation? 5. What is the treatment outcome with regard to emotion regulation, symptoms of anxiety, depression, functional impairment, and emotion regulation? The participants will be randomized to either the treatment group or the control group. The treatment group will receive 14 sessions of one-on-one individual treatment with the Unified Protocol. The control group will receive no treatment.
