Abstract Introduction: Promoting mental health in adolescents and determining a plan to promote the health of this at-risk group is of particular importance. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of semantic therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on the psychological capital of depressed adolescents. Research Method: This research was conducted using a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test-follow-up method with two experimental groups and one control group. The statistical population in this research was made up of all depressed female students in the second secondary level of Isfahan city, 45 of whom were purposefully selected and randomly divided into three groups of 15 (mind-awareness, meaning therapy and control group). After completing the questionnaires by all three groups, the first experimental group was subjected to mindfulness therapy by Kabat-Zinn (2005) in 8 90-minute sessions as a group, and during this period, the second experimental group was subjected to 8 90-minute sessions of Frankel's meaning therapy training. 1998) participated. The data collection tools in this research were Beck's depression questionnaires (2001) and Luthans' psychological capitals (2007). After the end of the intervention sessions, the questionnaires were completed again by all three groups, and a follow-up test was conducted 2 months later. Findings: The results of repeated measurement variance analysis showed that both mindfulness and meaning therapy methods were effective on the psychological capital of depressed adolescents (P<0.05). Also, the findings indicated the same effectiveness of two treatment methods on psychological capital (P<0.05). Conclusion: In order to increase the psychological capital of depressed teenagers, responsible institutions related to students and psychological centers should put awareness and training of meaning therapy and mindfulness skills at the top of their programs in working with depressed teenagers.
