“…In keeping with this, empirical evidence links training in mindfulness to reduced depressive symptoms. Although recently a critical meta-analysis concluded that mindfulness-based interventions only have weak effects on common psychiatric disorders (Hedman-Lagerlof, Hedman-Lagerlof, & Ost, 2018), several other meta-analyses and review studies conclude that mindfulness-based interventions such as MBSR and MBCT are effective in reducing depressive symptoms in non-clinical (Khoury, Sharma, Rush, & Fournier, 2015) and clinical samples (Goyal et al, 2014;Hofmann, Sawyer, Witt, & Oh, 2010;Strauss, Cavanagh, Oliver, & Pettman, 2014;Wang et al, 2018). For instance, Hoffman et al (2010) performed a meta-analysis based on 39 studies using clinical samples and found that mindfulness-based interventions were moderately effective in reducing depressive symptoms.…”
