Video Conference-Based Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicidal High-Risk Outpatients With Mood Disorders

This pilot randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of videoconference-based brief cognitive behavioral therapy (V-BCBT) for adult outpatients with mood disorders who are at high risk for suicide. Eligible participants will be randomized (1:1) to either V-BCBT + treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU alone. V-BCBT consists of eight structured videoconference sessions (approximately 50-60 minutes each, twice weekly for 4 weeks) focusing on crisis management (for example, understanding the "suicide mode," developing a crisis response plan, strengthening reasons for living), cognitive and behavioral coping skills (for example, relaxation, behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness), and relapse prevention (for example, coping rehearsal and a relapse prevention plan).
