Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will examine the feasibility and efficacy of lifestyle medicine for the enhancement of psychological wellness in adult. The main components of lifestyle intervention typically include physical activity, diet, relaxation/mindfulness, sleep and socialisation. These components are weaved with psychological elements such as stress management, cognitive restructuring, motivational interviewing, and goal setting strategies that are led by clinical psychologists. While lifestyle medicine has been recognised for centuries a a mean to improve physical health, the field of lifestyle medicine in the context of mental health is still in its infancy. Nevertheless, there is increasing evidence demonstrating the efficacy of individual components of lifestyle medicine (e.g. diet, physical activities, and sleep) on mood and stress management. With a well-researched lifestyle medicine programme adopted from Australia, the research team of the Chinese University of Hong Kong has customised the intervention protocol to fit the Chinese culture.

The investigators aim to examine the effectiveness of an integration of multiple lifestyle adjustments on depression from a holistic body-mind perspective.
