Patients With Recurrent Depressive Disorders Clinical Trial
— MBCTOfficial title:
Evaluation of the Impact of the Level of Mindfulness on the Management of Patients With Recurrent Depressive Disorders by the Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy ( MBCT ): an Exploratory Study
Mindfulness is both a natural resource of individuals present in all individuals in varying
degrees characteristic ability of attention to the experience that unfolds moment by moment
without judgment and a practice based on meditation, mindfulness exercises, which aims to
enhance two central skills of mindfulness that are the presence and acceptanc. In the
context of recurrent depression, the practice of mindfulness meditation in the frame of MBCT
is recognized as effective in psychological suffering and relapse. The mechanisms implied in
MBCT efficacy are emotional but especially cognitive. Among the cognitive mechanisms,
reduction of rumination is a major factor in the action of MBCT, especially for patients
with less than three depressive relapses.
This exploratory research focuses on the impact of mindfulness functioning (mindfulness
resource level at baseline) on the benefits of MBCT for patients with recurrent depressive
disorder.
The objective is to assess whether the level of mindfulness resource of patients with
recurrent depression is a factor contributing to the positive effect of a MBCT applied in
add-on to conventional care.
This objective will be measured by comparing the clinical improvement of patients secondary
to MBCT according to the initial categorization of the mindfulness resource.
Clinical improvement will be more important for patients characterized by a lower initial
level of mindfulness resource.
