Brief Summary:
The goal of this study is to learn if Dialectical behavior therapy Skills
Training for Adolescents (DBT-A-ST) works on emotional disorders in adolescents. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does DBT-A-ST produce faster improvements (i.e., steeper slopes), compared to ASG, on primary and secondary outcome measures during treatment and 3-month follow-up?
Does DBT-A-ST produce greater improvements, compared to ASG, on primary and secondary outcome measures?
Participants will:
Randomly assigned to (a) a culturally adapted DBT-A-ST or (b) activities-based support group (ASG).
Received five assessments before the start of the trial (T1), after 4, 8 sessions (T2, T3), at post-intervention (T4), and 3-month follow-up (T5).

Detailed Description:
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted in a medical center's child adolescent psychiatry department. Participants aged 12-17 years with current depressive or anxiety disorders as diagnosed using the K-SADS-E will be recruited and randomly allocated 1:1 to one of two study arms: a) culturally adapted DBT-A-ST group, b) Activities-based support group. Both interventions are in group format and include 15 weekly sessions, 120 min/each session. Based on power calculation, a target sample size of 160 youths will be included. Assessments will occur before the trial starts, at the 4th and 8th treatment sessions, in the end, and at the 3-month follow-up.
Primary outcomes are the severity of depression and anxiety, rated by blind assessors. Secondary outcomes include general psychopathology, number of DSM-5 disorders, quality of life, and self-reported measures. The treatment mechanisms and implementation processes will also be examined.
