Depression Treatment: Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy As Effective As

Anti-depressant Medication, Study Suggests

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081130201928.htm

Research shows for the first time that a group-based psychological treatment,

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, could be a viable alternative to

prescription drugs for people suffering from long-term depression. In this

study, MBCT proved as effective as maintenance anti-depressants in preventing a

relapse and more effective in enhancing peoples' quality of life. The study also

showed MBCT to be as cost-effective as prescription drugs in helping people with

a history of depression stay well in the longer-term.
