Women who are less than 16 weeks pregnant and use a SSRI primarily for depressive disorder, and are currently at least in remission or recovered [35], are invited to participate in the trial. Exclusion criteria are multiple pregnancy, as these women have a markedly increased obstetric risk, thereby threatening the homogeneity of the study population and thus potentially complicate the statistical analysis, and insufficient proficiency in Dutch or English, since our intervention is not yet available in other languages. Also, women will be excluded with severe medical conditions, such as oncology-related conditions or conditions that need urgent medical interventions, which involve treatment decisions overriding research participation. Exclusion criteria related to mental health are: current mania or hypomania or a history of bipolar illness, suicidality and serious self harm, any psychotic disorder (current and previous), current alcohol or drug misuse, predominant anxiety disorders and personality disorders that require psychotherapeutic treatment for more than 2 sessions a month.
