Therapies for mental health difficulties: finding the sweet spot between standardization and personalization

There are strong arguments for standardizing therapies for mental health difficulties in young people and for the development of digital therapies. At the same time, the importance of personalized treatments is also increasingly apparent.

We illustrate our discussion with reference to insomnia in adolescents/ young adults as well as the chronic health condition type 1 diabetes (T1D).
