 Depression is common and disabling but the evidence is that fewer than half of people with depression seek any treatment and few receive any help from specialized mental health professionals 1. In secondary care treatment is often limited to drug therapies because of long waiting lists to see psychological therapists face to face despite recommendations by NICE and others about the importance of non-drug therapies 2. At The Royal Ottawa Health Care Group the waiting time to be seen in the Mood Program is between nine months and a year. One way to address this problem is to use computerized e-therapies which deliver structured cognitive behavioral treatment via a computer 3. The appeal of e-therapies is that they solve several problems. Firstly they are convenient for users. They can be used at any time and can be accessed in different locations. Secondly there is no waiting for appointments. Last for health providers they address the workforce issue of a lack of trained providers of effective interventions. If e-therapies can be shown to be acceptable, feasible and effective there is no reason why these computerized therapies could not replace humans leaving qualified professionals to focus on more complex management problems. This may lead to the development of new role which in this proposal is an e-therapy coach.
