A group of researchers from the university of Auckland, New Zealand created a novel computerized cognitive behavioral therapy call SPARX. This puts the users in a number of undergoing series, which challenges them to complete certain tasks to get rid of GNATS or Gloomy Negative Automatic Thoughts. They did this on a group of adolescents between the ages of 12 to 19 with mild to moderate depression. This showed that SPARX was just as effective at reducing depression symptoms in the teenagers as therapy sessions.
