study. Journal of Mental Health, 26(2), 252-261. Retrieved from SCC Online

EBSCOhost Academic Search database.

Pandya’s study shows that meditation can potentially significantly improve treatment

response in adults with bipolar II disorder, both in the acute and maintenance phases of

treatment. In the current study, 311 participants participated in a 2-year, 8-city controlled

trial in Africa and Asia. Results showed that bipolar disorder was significantly lower in

the intervention group, particularly among men, Hindus and Buddhists, middle-class

patients, and those who attended meditation sessions more regularly. These gains were

greatest for symptoms of depression, as evidenced by decreased guilt, depressed

mood, and hopelessness. These findings suggest that meditation can be a very useful

treatment therapy; it offers a more comprehensive approach to treating mood instability

and depression in patients with bipolar II disorder. This study emphasizes the

importance of incorporating mindfulness into mental health strategies.

disorder undergoing mindfulness based cognitive therapy. This is a cohort of
