During recent times, the rate of relapse and recurrence of depressive disorders has placed financial pressure on already stretched health care resources.
With this in mind, the demand for the ongoing development of prophylactic treatments has been increased, in order to continue to keep patients well, once recovered.
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression has become one of the first major breakthroughs in this area.
It represents an adaptation of the mindfulness meditation technique, into a group program to increase instances of relapse prevention of in depression.
Classes would normally include some instruction in the formal mindfulness practices.
These would be things like "sitting meditation", "body scanning", "mindful yoga" and "walking meditation".
Group discussions would typically address the experiential component of class, and the didactic components which emphasize the application of mindfulness, in dealing with all kinds of stress.
Mindfulness based cognitive therapy for depressions (MBCT) will help you see much more clearly, the patterns of your mind, and will show you how to learn to recognize when your mood is diminishing.
This helps to break any link between your negative mood and any negative thinking patterns that may normally have escalated into a relapse of depression.
This technique is all about finding out what causes relapse in depression and tries to combat the incidence of it in as many patients as possible.
Modern day research would suggest that once a patient has had depression, there is certainly an increased risk that they will in fact become depressed again at some point in the future.
You may be asking "what causes depression to return?" This question is probably more able to be recognized by those people who have actually suffered from depression in the past, but we can all sometimes recognize the feelings of sadness, and disappointment.
In people who have previously suffered from depression these relatively insignificant feelings of sadness can in fact expand into quite large feelings of self doubt, negativity and feelings of failure.
Latest research has found that with a combination of cognitive therapy and meditation, MBCT can help many people who may be struggling with this, and help them remain depression free.
Through a combination of weekly classes, and home activity patients can learn the practice of Mindfulness based cognitive therapy for depression, and how to apply it to try and remove themselves from the web of relapse into depressive states.
It is a very easy technique to learn, and consists of listening to tapes, meditation and generally activities designed to calm a troubled soul.
We all suffer at times from feelings of sadness, low mood and thinking, but some of us need that extra edge in controlling the symptoms.
This technique will not only help with those symptoms, it will also encourage feelings of self worth, and positive thinking.
You will learn very simple breathing techniques, yoga exercises, and a basic education about depression, that will arm you with the material you need to bring your condition under control, your control.
