There is growing interest in mind-body therapy that could potentially improve patients' psychological health. Ba Duan Jin, a traditional Chinese health-preserving technique, combines techniques regulating body, breath and spirit. The effects of Ba Duan Jin on patients with symptoms of depression and anxiety are yet to be further investigated. The present pilot clinical study aims to apply Ba Duan Jin to patients with symptoms of depression and anxiety, and to evaluate the psychological effects. Participants allocated to the Health Education Group take part in the 16-week health education including work, rest, diet and other basic programs according to the different conditions of participants.
