Mindfulness Meditation Intervention Alters Neurophysiological Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression in Preadolescents

Mindfulness meditation interventions are formal training programs that use mindfulness techniques to improve attentional control and reduce stress and anxiety. Past investigations have shown mixed results regarding their efficacy, with some studies indicating benefits while others report no significant effects.

Further research is needed to clarify the conditions under which mindfulness meditation interventions are most beneficial.
