Relapse prevention in major depressive disorder: Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy versus an active control condition.
Overview
This randomized controlled trial compares mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) against an active control condition for preventing relapse in major depressive disorder among 92 participants in remission. The study reports no significant differences between the two groups regarding relapse rates, overall symptom reduction, or life satisfaction over a 60-week follow-up period. It notes that while both interventions yielded equal benefits, the trajectories of symptom improvement differed, with MBCT showing gradual linear reduction compared to the active control's immediate but less sustained decline. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in comparative psychotherapy outcomes.
