Personalized lifestyle advice and tandem-dive as a non-pharmacological means to restore the pleasure of everyday activities and accomplishments.
Purpose of the study
This exploratory intervention study is set out to examine effects of tailor-made lifestyle advice, based on observed individual temporal patterns of lifestyle factors and experienced pleasure, as a non-pharmacological means to restore the pleasure of everyday activities and accomplishments. In addition, we will explore whether exposure to tandem skydiving, an experience known to activate the dopamine system and to elicit strong emotions, can help to reboot the reward system and hence foster the recommended lifestyle changes.
