Mindfulness therapy reduced depression levels in four high-risk pregnant women aged 32–39 who showed signs of depression. In a one-group pretest-posttest design, depression was measured with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), interviews, and observations before, during, and after therapy. A nonparametric Friedman test showed a significant difference in depression scores across pre-test, post-test, and follow-up (chi square = 8.000, p < 0.05). Participants' depression levels decreased after receiving mindfulness therapy, indicating the therapy's effectiveness for this population.
