A review of 11 randomized controlled trials found that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is an effective psychotherapy for reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and emotional distress, and for improving quality of life and psychological well-being. The authors searched multiple health databases and identified 633 articles, narrowing to 11 that met inclusion criteria. They conclude that MBCT is acceptable, feasible, and applicable for treating depression.
