I have a very hard time doing it when severely depressed. I can say it has helped me overall in my life but it has not cured my depression. It may have helped my depression I really have no way to know. I still keep getting them. It for sure has helped me with anxiety. The most tangible benefits are relaxation and stress reduction. The more you practice the easier it is to stay calm and relaxed and handle stressful situations. My anxiety is always about fear of the future and it is easier to bring myself back into the moment.
