The goal of this controlled randomized clinical study is to learn if a Tao Calligraphy Mindfulness and Energized water Practice works to improve Unipolar Depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Tao Calligraphy Mindfulness practice and drinking Energized water improve the subjective symptoms of Unipolar Depression in adults? * Does Tao Calligraphy Mindfulness practice and drinking Energized water improve the clinical symptoms and signs of Unipolar Depression in adults? * Will any improvement in the John Ware's SF-36 Quality of Life questionnaire, in the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) -9 and in the Beckman Anxiety Inventory (BAI) -21 in adults be statistically significant? Investigators will compare the values of these three scales at the beginning of the mindfulness and energized water practices to their values at six weeks of practice and control groups. Participants will: * be randomized into practice and control groups * complete the set of three questionnaires upon entry into the study - (the baseline or zero time point; at the 6-weeks time point, and at the 12-weeks time point * practice the mindfulness techniques with Tao Calligraphy for a minimum of thirty minutes daily and energized water practice for a minimum of five minutes daily.
