The present project will be an open-label trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a self-help intervention among a sample of orthopedic patients. In addition to monitoring the effectiveness of the Deprexis program on depressive symptoms, the proposed project will assess whether a reduction in depressive symptoms will be associated with improvement on patient reported orthopedic impairment. The investigators will enroll 50 adults and the participants will be given the opportunity to participate in 8 weeks of the web-based online Deprexis program.
