Group mindfulness meditation based cognitive therapy intervention for the treatment of late-life depression and anxiety symptoms: a randomized controlled trial

Approximately 10-20% of older adults treated in primary care settings suffer from symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. As our population ages, the number of older adults in primary care increases, and the urgent need to find cost-effective and efficient alternative therapies become crucial. The present RCT study aim was to investigate the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), adapted to older adults with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety.
