TY - JOUR AU - Kosulwit, Lampu PY - 2023/11/28 Y2 - 2026/03/01 TI - Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Basic to an update 2023 JF - Asian Medical Journal and Alternative Medicine JA - AMJAM VL - 23 IS - Supplemental SE - Review Articles DO - UR - https://asianmedjam.com/index.php/amjam/article/view/1426 SP - S37-S50 AB - <p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Mindfulness meditation, rooted in Buddhism, has become Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), an evidence-based depression treatment, but its efficacy in other psychiatric conditions remains uncertain.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> The assessment of MBCT's effectiveness in psychiatric disorders was carried out through the examination of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) and relevant research articles. A search restricted to meta-analyses and systematic reviews was conducted in the PubMed database, covering the period from January 2015 to May 2023. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> This search uncovered one network meta-analysis, 13 meta-analyses and 2 systematic reviews regarding the effectiveness of MBCT. MBCT demonstrates additional effectiveness in preventing long-term depression relapse, addressing sleep issues in patients with depression and anxiety and providing a short-term anxiolytic effect.<br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> There is insufficient evidence for the effectiveness of MBCT in treating other psychiatric <br />disorders. Future studies should concentrate on assessing the effectiveness of each mindfulness technique to discern their active ingredients.</p> ER -
