A 15-session Vipassana meditation program (5–10 minutes per session) improved depression scores by 47.6%, anxiety scores by 47.7%, and quality-of-life indicators by 9.53% among professionals in social isolation during a 15-day COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. The experimental study with pre- and post-tests and simple randomization found that the meditation group showed better outcomes than the control group in anxiety, depression, and physical, psychological, and social relationship domains of quality of life.
