Depression is the most frequent mental health problem but only a small proportion of individuals in need receive adequate treatment. Internet-based depression treatment is a promising treatment alternative with which large populations can easily be reached. This review compiles the current evidence on internet-based treatments for depression. Several randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and reviews suggest that in structured internet-based treatments delivered with therapist support (e.g., guided self-help approaches, e-mail or chat therapies), effect sizes are comparable to those obtained in face-to-face psychotherapy. Internet-based interventions for depression without any support (self-guided programs) seem to result in considerably higher dropout rates and modest outcomes. Future research should evaluate optimal strategies for disseminating internet-based treatments for depression in routine health care settings. Health care areas to which internet-based treatments for depression can be applied are described and discussed.
