LIGHTmind2 - the benefits of guided mindfulness-based CBT in treating depression in adults

LIGHTMind2 is a study led by Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust showing the benefits of guided mindfulness-based cognitive-therapy self-help in treating depression in adults. Our New research has demonstrated how guided mindfulness self-help can significantly reduce symptoms of depression - potentially improving the lives of thousands of patients.

Results of the study show how guided use of a specialised mindfulness self-help book (MBCT-SH) was more effective at treating people experiencing mild to moderate depression than the NICE-recommended treatment of guided Cognitive Behavioural Therapy self-help (CBT-SH).
