Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is still a relatively new, standalone treatment for the prevention of relapse in depression. Combining about equal parts of mindfulness (Vipassana) meditation and cognitive behavioral principles, the treatment is 8 weeks of 2 h sessions for a group of remitted participants that can range in size (8–15 would be typical).

An increasing significance has been attributed to the glutamatergic system in the pathophysiology of affective disorders. Glutamate is the most important excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Glia cells are crucial regulators of the glutamatergic metabolism. Several studies have reported a dysfunction or reduced number of glia cells in patients suffering from depression....

The effects of meditation, specifically Transcendental Meditation (TM), on college students' experience of stress, anxiety, depression, and perfectionistic thoughts was investigated using 43 undergraduate students. Self-report measures of the variables were completed prior to the start of the study. Student groups were trained in TM and practiced the technique consistently over a two-semester...

The non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic capable of inducing analgesia, is known to have psychotomimetic actions, but the detailed mechanisms remain unclear because of its complex properties. The present study elucidated neural mechanisms of the effect of ketamine, at doses that exert psychotomimetic effects without anesthetic and...

A recent paper in the Archives of General Psychiatry confirms that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) “offers protection against relapse/recurrence on a par with that of maintenance antidepressant pharmacotherapy.”[1][1] It is a tribute to the accumulated wisdom of humankind that a

NICE guidelines indicate one in five people will suffer from depression at some point in their lives with relapse rates of 50–80% in those who have experienced one or more episodes of depression (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence [NICE], 2007). By 2020, depression is predicted to be the second largest cause of death or disability and consequently there is a need to explore...

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a class-based manualised program designed to treat recurrent depression and prevent relapse. MBCT has been found to be effective for both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with three or more previous episodes of depression. While research estimates that 50 - 75% of individuals with depression also experience anxiety, the role of anxiety in the...

The present study tested two hypotheses: 1) that lucid dreaming could be effectively taught through an online intervention, and 2) that lucid dreaming can alleviate depression as mediated by LOC. Surveys consisting of (lucid) dream frequency and recall scales (Schredl & Erlacher, 2004; Doll, Gitter, & Holzinger, 2009), Rotter’s LOC scale (1966), and the most recent Beck Depression Index...
