Overview
Brief Summary
The presented randomized-controled study aim to assess the use of internet-based mindfulness intervention via mobile application for 30 days in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Detailed Description
Mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) proved to be effective in relapse prevention in MDD. Next, MBI in form of free mobile applications can be an effective augmentation of the treatment as usual (TAU) and can fill a gap in the ambulatory care. Given this background, the aim of this randomized controlled study is to assess the effectiveness of additional MBI via mobile app on the symptom severity and stress levels, compared to TAU.
