Developing and testing a cognitive behavioural therapy self-help intervention for depression and anxiety in adults with pulmonary hypertension This project explored the use of a self-help tool designed specifically for people with pulmonary hypertension to help manage depression.  A similar study has shown that a similar tool focusing on anxiety in people with pulmonary hypertension was found to be helpful. An update on that research has been published here.

The study on depression has been completed but not yet published.

In October 2024 the Pulmonary Hypertension Knowledge Sharing Platform hosted a webinar that talked about these studies.
