Depressive disorders impose a heavy societal burden due to their high prevalence and impact on relationships, emotions, and motivation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the gold standard treatment for major depression, while mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) effectively prevents relapse and can be integrated into individual therapy. Various delivery modes, including therapist-guided digital CBT, blended therapy, and digitalized MBIs, offer efficacious supplements to face-to-face therapy, improving accessibility. This chapter reviews the principles and evidence for CBT and MBCT and different delivery modes for depressive disorders in adults, discussing integration opportunities and challenges, along with practice implications and future research recommendations.
