Consultation-liaison psychiatrists are often asked to manage mood and anxiety symptoms experienced by patients admitted to medical and surgical floors of the hospital. This study aims to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a self-directed mindfulness intervention as an adjunctive treatment for improving mood, anxiety, and perceived stress in medically hospitalized patients. Participants, consisting of patients evaluated by the consultation-liaison psychiatry service, will be randomized to an adjunctive mindfulness intervention group or a treatment-as-usual control group. Feasibility and acceptability of implementing a mindfulness intervention will be assessed. Group differences in the changes in symptom severity and psychotropic medication administration will be investigated.
