This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a structured mind-body skills group can help medical graduate students who are experiencing anxiety or depression. The program teaches techniques to strengthen your inner resources and help you navigate stress more effectively. Half of participants will join the weekly skills group, while the other half will receive usual care and reading materials.
Medical graduate students often face high levels of stress and mental health challenges, but there are limited programs designed specifically for them. This trial is exploring whether this new treatment can effectively reduce anxiety and depression in this population.

If you are selected, you will be randomly assigned to either the treatment group or control group. The treatment group will attend weekly mind-body skills sessions, where you'll learn and practice techniques like breathing exercises, relaxation, and mindfulness. The control group will receive usual care and reading materials about mind-body skills. Throughout the study, you'll complete questionnaires to help researchers understand how the program is working.
