Outcomes of Online Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Patients With Residual Depressive Symptoms: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Psychiatry January 29, 2020 Z. Segal, Sona Dimidjian, A. Beck et al.
A web-based mindfulness-based cognitive therapy program (Mindful Mood Balance) added to usual depression care improved residual depressive symptoms more than usual care alone. Over 15 months, patients receiving the program had greater symptom reduction, higher remission rates, and lower relapse risk. They also experienced more depression-free days, less anxiety, and better mental functioning, though physical functioning did not differ. The program involved eight online sessions with minimal coaching support.
