Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive! Discover the power of Internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT), a high-yield intervention backed by NHMRC Level 1 evidence for depression and anxiety.

In this episode, we break down essential OSCE safety steps: always assess suicide and self-harm risk before recommending iCBT and identify contraindications like substance dependence or personality disorders.
