Mindfulness can help people with mild dementia by reducing depression and rumination. The study looked at how mindfulness, depression, and rumination are connected in patients with mild dementia and their caregivers. They found that mindfulness is linked to lower levels of depression and rumination in patients with mild dementia. Patients with low mindfulness scores were more likely to have depression and rumination. This suggests that rumination could be an important factor to consider in future treatments for dementia.
