“Exploring the brain and behavioral mechanisms of MBIs for depression and anxiety”

The goal of this symposium is to share results of four studies that examined the brain and behavioral mechanisms of change during MBCT for remitted depressed patients and MBSR for adults with social anxiety disorder. One study examines an online version of MBCT in women at high risk of depressive relapse. A second study is a prospective, randomized, clinical, neuroimaging study comparing inperson MBCT to a wellness-based CBT intervention. The third presentation provides further analyses of the aforementioned RCT and describes an evaluation of viscerosomatic suppression as a biomarker of MDD vulnerability. The fourth study compares MBSR to CBT and waitlist control for adults with with social anxiety disorder. All studies use fMRI to examine brain changes that potentially elucidate how MBCT and MBSR produce therapeutic improvement in mood and anxiety disorders.
