This study explores the impact of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on reducing anxiety levels in adolescents. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 200 participants aged 13-18. The results indicate significant improvements in anxiety symptoms among those who underwent MBIs, compared to the control group. Furthermore, qualitative feedback suggests increased self-awareness and coping skills. This research offers valuable insights into non-pharmacological approaches in managing adolescent anxiety, highlighting the potential for MBIs to serve as complementary treatments in clinical settings. The study underscores the importance of addressing mental health among youth and suggests further exploration into tailored interventions.
