The aim of the study is to test Body, breath & mind (BBM, internet-based self-help program) for its efficacy in reducing depressive symptoms and improving quality of life. BBM combines methods of value-oriented behavioral activation with exercises from the Chinese healing practice Qi Gong,. BBM will be compared to an active control treatment (moodgym) and a waiting list control group. We expect significant differences to the waiting list control group. In comparison to the active control treatment we expect no significant differences.
