Depression: 'Mindfulness-based therapy shows promise'

[annie]

A mindfulness-based therapy could offer a "new choice for millions of people" with recurrent depression, a Lancet report suggests.

Scientists tested it against anti-depressant pills for people at risk of relapse and found it worked just as well.

The therapy trains people to focus their minds and understand that negative thoughts may come and go.

In England and Wales doctors are already encouraged to offer it.

Mind charity has been using this for some time, and it does seem to have worked for many people.
I have tried to get us a hosted chat about it, but not been successful.
