The goal of this study is to learn about changes in the brain of older adults that occur during treatment for depression with two types of psychotherapy called Engage therapy and supportive therapy, and how they differ from one another.
Engage therapy is designed to help individuals with depression become involved in activities they previously enjoyed but have not been participating in since developing depression. In Engage therapy, individuals with depression work with a therapist to develop "action plans" to pursue rewarding activities of their choice.
