The PHQ-9 is a nine-item self-report questionnaire that assesses the presence and severity of depressive symptoms over the past two weeks, based on DSM diagnostic criteria. For each item, the person indicates how frequently they experience the indicated condition using a four-point Likert scale (0 = \"Not at all\" to 3 = \"Almost every day\").

Each item is rated by the participant on a seven-point Likert scale (1 = \"Strongly disagree\" to 7 = \"Strongly agree\"). The result includes two subscales that measure the degree of uncertainty (RFQ\\_U) and the degree of certainty (RFQ\\_C) about mental states.

Secondary outcome variables include depressive (PHQ-9) and anxious (GAD-7) symptoms, reflective function (RFQ), protective factors (RFL), and impulsivity (UPPS-P). Measurements will be taken at baseline (T0), session 6 (T1), final session (T2), and at 3 months of follow-up (T3). Psychotherapy process variables will also be assessed in all sessions: therapeutic alliance (SAI), psychological distress (CORE-10), affective regulation (DERS-8), and sense of belonging and burden (INQ).\n\nThe analysis, guided by the intention-to-treat principle, will employ Bayesian regression models to evaluate the superiority of MBT over TAU and the non-inferiority of public MBT compared to private MBT.
