Diksha Sachdeva, Harprit Kaur, Ajit Avasthi

Abstract

Depression is a major public health problem, in terms of its prevalence, dysfunction, morbidity and economic burden. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) was developed as a psychological intervention for relapse prevention of major depression. This review provides an overview of current trends in MBCT research, including efficacy, mechanisms of change, limitations, and gaps in literature. The article concluded that MBCT may be used as adjunct psychological intervention to pharmacotherapy; however, efficacy of MBCT alone is inconclusive. Keywords: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Depression Current Trends
