Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction: A Powerful Treatment for Anxiety

We talk about a promising treatment for generalized anxiety disorder called Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). MBSR was developed by a professor at MIT named John Kabat-Zinn, who wanted to create a standardized clinical meditation program. MBSR has been studied in many trials, including one that compared it to the anti-anxiety medication Lexapro. The study found MBSR to be equally effective, which has brought it to the attention of psychiatrists as a highly accessible and potent treatment for anxiety.

Understanding Depression: Mood States and Daily Life Impacts

In this video, we discuss the concept of depression and how it relates to different mood states. We explain that depression is a mood state that falls between the extremes of euthymia (normal mood) and dysphoria (low mood). When depression becomes severe, it can lead to impairment in daily life, such as difficulties with academic performance, work tasks, relationships, and enjoyment of everyday activities. The video also mentions that the experience of depression can vary from person to person.
