This study explores the efficacy of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in reducing symptoms of depression among adults. MBCT is a structured program that combines cognitive therapy with mindfulness strategies to help individuals disengage from detrimental thought patterns. The research examines the impact of MBCT on 150 participants over eight weeks, showing significant improvements in emotional regulation and reduced depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that MBCT can be an effective treatment modality for depression, offering an alternative to traditional cognitive-behavioral therapies.
