Brief Summary: The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of a Resilience and Stress Management Intervention Program RASMUS compared with yoga on stress perception coping strategies depressive symptoms anxiety resilience and quality of life in people diagnosed with major depressive disorder MDD in the short and long term

In addition to psychological factors biological parameters will be examined to define biomarkers involved in stress response In the optional neuroimaging part the effects of the planned interventions on the structure metabolism and function of the brain will be investigated The epigenetic part which is also optional will examine the effects of the planned interventions on the histone modifications
Detailed Description: The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of a Resilience and Stress Management Intervention Program RASMUS compared with yoga on stress perception coping strategies depressive symptoms anxiety resilience and quality of life in people diagnosed with major depressive disorder MDD in the short and long term

In addition to psychological factors biological parameters will be examined to define biomarkers involved in stress response In the optional neuroimaging part the effects of the planned interventions on the structure metabolism and function of the brain will be investigated The epigenetic part which is also optional will examine the effects of the planned interventions on the histone modifications A total of 80 participants per study arm are planned for both the MRI and epigenetic studies 20 per gender and per type of intervention

150 outpatients diagnosed with MDD will be randomly assigned to one of two groups an experimental group receiving RASMUS training and a control group receiving body-oriented yoga Both interventions will take place in a group setting of 10-12 participants once a week for one hour over a period of 10 weeks RASMUS aims to build reflect on and strengthen stress management strategies and resilience through mindfulness self-compassion and self-care Through body-oriented yoga participants learn through physical exercises to better control and manage their perception of stress

The planned duration of the clinical trial is 4 years Individual participation in the study will last approximately 8 months and include 4 study visits The first visit will take place after enrolment The second and third visits will take place after the fifth and final intervention The fourth visit will be six months later
