Important note - the participants had already displayed relapses from medication based treatments, so they were already in a position where medication was not filling their needs.

I was unable to find the paper in Lancet's online system.



Erm, so the summary is that if medicine doesn't work for you then mindfulness therapy may work just as well as medicine?


TL;DR is that if medicine fails you, mindfulness is better than random chance of getting better


I couldn't find the paper, either. But I did find a different paper, which is on much the same topic, and which has multiple authors in common with the paper mentioned in this post:

"Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to Prevent Relapse in Recurrent Depression", Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v. 76 (6) (2008), pp. 966-978.
