Depression is a problem that could affect astronauts during long-duration spaceflights. Scientists are now developing a self-guided, multimedia program that will assist astronauts in recognizing and effectively managing depression and other psychosocial problems. In addition to protecting astronaut health, the system could have applications for health care on Earth, especially in rural locations where access to professional help is limited.
