Mindfulness and depression Sample Clauses

Mindfulness and depression. There has been a surge in research studies examining the effects of mindfulness- based interventions (MBI) in depression. The aim of these interventions is to help patients to become more aware of and relate differently to their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. Through mindfulness practice, patients are encouraged to recognise and accept discomfort from negative emotions, to detach from negative thoughts, and to disengage from dysfunctional cognitive processes such as rumination, by redirecting their attention to the present moment. Several mechanisms of therapeutic change associated with MBI have received empirical support, particularly the negative association between mindfulness and negative automatic thoughts, and the positive association between mindfulness practice and letting-go of these thoughts (Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, Maraj, Xxxxxx, & Xxxxxxxxx, 2008). Empirical research on the effectiveness of MBI for depression has greatly increased in the last decade, and a brief overview of this research will be provided in the next section. Empirical evidence on mindfulness and depression Cross-sectional studies Research has shown significant negative correlations between mindfulness and depression (Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxxxx, 2010; Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, & Xxxxx, 2008), and between mindfulness and other concepts associated with depression, such as rumination (Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2010; Xxxxx et al., 2008) and cognitive reactivity (Xxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxxx, 2009). Another way to examine the effects of mindfulness on depression is by comparing experienced meditators and non-meditators on indices of depression. Xxxxxx and Xxxx (2009) found that, in contrast with non-meditators, meditators reported significantly lower levels of depressive symptoms and rumination, and significantly higher levels of mindfulness, self-compassion, and overall sense of well-being. Moreover, changes in these variables were associated with the extent of meditation practice. Because of the cross-sectional and non-randomised design of the above studies, it is not possible to take valid conclusions about the effect of mindfulness on depressive symptoms. The next section will review the empirical evidence pertaining to longitudinal research with a focus on randomised control trials regarding the effectiveness of mindfulness interventions on depression.
