Background
Depression
Depression is among the top causes of morbidity, generating a huge burden on populations all over the world.A widely used working definition of mindfulness is ‘the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment’.Given the growing demand for counselling services and limited university funding, it is important to have evidence for the effectiveness and cost implications of associated interventions.
