Effectiveness of mindfulness‐based cognitive therapy in patients with anxiety disorders in secondary‐care settings: A randomized controlled trial

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences November 27, 2019 Akira Ninomiya, Mitsuhiro Sado, Sunre Park et al.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helped reduce depression in patients who had not recovered despite prior medication.

The therapy was especially beneficial for those with more severe or chronic depression. The findings suggest MBCT can be an effective additional treatment for people who have not responded to pharmacotherapy alone.
