Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Bipolar Disorder
Overview
This paper reports on an open pilot trial assessing the effects of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on self-reported cognitive functioning in patients with bipolar disorder. The study found that participants experienced significant improvements in executive functioning, memory, and task initiation, which correlated with increased mindful awareness but were not linked to reduced depression symptoms. While some benefits diminished after treatment ended, improvements in executive functioning persisted for at least three months, suggesting MBCT may serve as an adjunctive treatment option.
