Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and the Prevention of Depressive Relapse

JAMA April 27.
The findings indicate that MBCT produced a reduced risk of depressive relapse within a 60-week follow-up period compared with other active treatments. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was most effective for patients with greater depressive severity before treatment.

(My experience with mindfulness meditation (not MBCT) supports this finding.)

one person called it 'the battlefield in your mind',
another described it as the 'yo-yo'ing'

I feel like I'm always having to be vigilant.
It's exhausting.

one person in the group I was talking to agreed it is exhausting,
but added that if we never knew the lows, we wouldn't be motivated to strive upward.

I like that thought, but sheesh, I wish the lows were not SO low.

wish you the best.
