Summary

This study tests whether mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) delivered through video calls can prevent depression from coming back. 315 adults with recurrent depression in partial remission will be randomly assigned to group MBCT, a self-help manual with minimal video support, or usual care alone. Researchers will track who relapses over 12 months and measure costs, well-being, and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) delivered via videoconference
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, scalable, and cost-efficient way to prevent depression relapse using remote group therapy or self-help with minimal support.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so effects may be modest. The trial is not yet recruiting, and results depend on participant engagement and therapist skill. Remote delivery may not suit everyone.
