How it works
Cultivates non-reactive awareness of anxious thoughts. Structural brain changes (reduced amygdala grey matter density) have been observed in neuroimaging studies.
Requires commitment to a structured programme and daily practice (45 minutes/day). Less studied than CBT for specific anxiety disorders. Digital programmes are available.
Multiple RCTs show significant anxiety reduction with MBSR. A 2013 JAMA Internal Medicine RCT found MBSR comparable to an antidepressant for anxiety and mood symptoms.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
