Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • A clinical diagnosis of coronary heart disease
  • Referred to a participating Healthscope cardiac rehabilitation program
  • A positive screen for depression (defined as a PHQ2 score \>3\) at the time of the cardiac rehabilitation assessment
  • Able to give written informed consent
  • Over 18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria

  • Physically frail (as they may not be able to fully participate in the cardiac rehabilitation/behavioral activation program)
  • Experience mental confusion, cognitive impairment, or psychosis. These comorbidities may make it difficult to deliver the behavioral activation intervention.
  • Have serious co\-existing diseases (e.g. cancer) because of the risk of hospitalization or death during the course of the study
  • Have previously attended a cardiac rehabilitation program as this may contaminate the effectiveness of the intervention.
  • Are currently receiving psychological or pharmacological (antidepressant) treatment for depression as this may limit the effectiveness of the behavioural activation intervention.
  • Are alcohol or drug dependent as patients may not be able to engage in treatment.
  • Are suicidal or have made a suicide attempt in the past month because this is an experimental intervention and patients should receive standard of care in this situation
