Small-Scale Study Shows Efficacy of Mindfulness Therapy Comparable to Medication in Treatment of Anxiety Disorders
Mindfulness is a popular technique for addressing stress and anxiety. However, less is known about how it compares to first-line medication treatment for diagnosed anxiety disorders. A randomized clinical trial of 208 adults compared the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) to a flexible dosage of the antidepressant escitalopram in treating anxiety disorders. After an 8-week treatment period, adults in the MBSR group reported similar improvements to the escitalopram group on a severity scale of symptoms. Participants in the MBSR group were also less likely to report an adverse event and therefore less likely to drop out of the study. To learn more, see the article in JAMA Psychiatry. -
