Summary

This study looks at whether a mindfulness program can improve attention and brain connectivity in 11-14 year olds who have a family history of mood disorders and high mood swings. About 224 teens will be randomly assigned to mindfulness or a health education class. The goal is to understand how mindfulness works in the brain, not to cure or treat a disease.
