Summary
AI-generated from the abstractMindfulness-based cognitive therapy may help regulate emotional responses in people with bipolar disorder. In a controlled functional MRI investigation, patients who received the therapy showed altered brain activity in regions associated with emotion regulation compared to those who did not. The findings suggest that the intervention could influence neural mechanisms underlying mood stability, though the authors indicate further research is needed to confirm clinical benefits.
