A meditation-based mandala program reduced distress, depression, and anxiety among caregivers of cancer patients in a palliative care unit. In a single-group study of 11 caregivers, levels of these mental health problems were measured before and after a 5-week program of weekly 2-hour sessions. Results showed decreases in distress, depression, and anxiety after the program. Mental health problems were more common than physical health problems in this group.
