BACKGROUND: Effective and accessible approaches to prevent depressive relapse and reduce symptoms are crucial for addressing the major public health problem of depression among perinatal women. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Mindful Mood Balance (MMB) for Moms plus usual care (hereafter MMB for Moms)-a web-based mindfulness-based cognitive therapy programme customised for perinatal...
Abstract Objectives Over the past decade, research on mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) has expanded exponentially. A decade ago, Dimidjian and Segal (2015) used the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stage Model to assess the state of the science and identify key issues limiting public health impact. The present review provided a ten-year update on the field’s progress, applying the same...
OBJECTIVE: Digital delivery of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy through the Mindful Mood Balance (MMB) program is clinically effective (Segal et al., 2020); however, the mechanisms through which this program delivers its benefits have not been established. METHOD: This study investigates the differential impact of the MMB program paired with usual depression care (UDC) compared to UDC alone...
To address the elevated prevalence of depression, suicide, and suicidal ideation, patients require increased access to effective interventions. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy has a strong evidence base in relapse prophylaxis and can be delivered digitally through Mindful Mood Balance (MMB). This study was a secondary analysis of the impact of MMB paired with usual depression care (UDC)...
Importance Patients with residual depressive symptoms face a gap in care because few resources, to date, are available to manage the lingering effects of their illness. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness for treating residual depressive symptoms with Mindful Mood Balance (MMB), a web-based application that delivers mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, plus usual depression care compared...
