What this trial studies

This study tests a program that combines cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, mindfulness meditation, and yoga to improve resilience in patients with minor neurocognitive disorders. Participants will be divided into groups receiving either the mixed intervention or a control intervention that does not enhance resilience. The intervention lasts for three months, with evaluations conducted before and after, as well as follow-up assessments one and three months post-intervention. The goal is to determine the effectiveness of the mixed intervention compared to other approaches.
