Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy as a treatment for chronic depression: A preliminary study
Overview
This pilot study examines Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for individuals with chronic-recurrent depression and a history of suicidal ideation. Participants were assigned to receive MBCT alongside standard care or standard care alone, with outcomes measured through depressive symptom severity and diagnostic status. The results indicate that the MBCT group experienced significant reductions in symptoms compared to the control group.
