Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression: A Systematic Review of Cognitive Outcomes.

Objectives: Summarize existing literature on cognitive outcomes of MBSR and MBCT for individuals with depression.

Methods: Following PRISMA (2021) guidance, we conducted a systematic review. We searched databases for studies published from 2000 to 2020 which examined cognitive outcomes of MBSR and MBCT in individuals with at least mild depressive symptoms.

An adapted Delphi approach: The use of an expert panel to operationally define non-judgment of internal experiences as it relates to mindfulness.

Objectives: There are several definitions of mindfulness throughout the literature, many of which suggest an attitude of non-judgmental awareness. However, the concept of "non-judgment" itself has not previously been systematically operationally defined. Our purpose was to use an expert panel to generate an operational definition of non-judgment of internal experiences, as it relates to mindfulness, to be used to inform the development of an implicit measure of the construct.

Innovations in the Treatment of Perinatal Depression: the Role of Yoga and Physical Activity Interventions During Pregnancy and Postpartum.

Purpose Of Review: We review evidence for physical activity and yoga as interventions for depressed pregnant and postpartum women.

Recent Findings: Results from existing trials have generally indicated that physical activity and yoga interventions are acceptable to women during the perinatal period, and that these interventions can be effective in reducing depression. However, some studies have not found significant differences between intervention and control conditions.

Demographic and clinical characteristics associated with comorbid cannabis use disorders (CUDs) in hospitalized patients with bipolar I disorder.

Background: Published data suggest that cannabis use is associated with several negative consequences for individuals with bipolar disorder (BD), including new manic episode onset, psychosis, and functional disability. Yet much less is known about cannabis use disorders (CUDs) in this population, especially in more acutely symptomatic groups.

Methods: To evaluate correlates of CUD comorbidity in BD, a retrospective chart review was conducted for 230 adult patients with bipolar I disorder (BDI) who were admitted to a university-affiliated private psychiatric hospital.

Developing and implementing a bereavement support program for college students.

The death of a loved one can be particularly difficult for college students, as significant losses are not anticipated during this time. Bereavement experiences are, however, not uncommon among college students, and campus environments can be isolating and nonconducive to recovery. To date, few interventions have been developed to meet bereaved college students' needs.
