But unfortunately we do not know of Swiss medical doctors who suggest their patients MBCT as a treatment against depression instead of antidepressants – why not? Zindel V. Segal showed in the paper:
«Antidepressant monotherapy vs sequential pharmacotherapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, or placebo, for relapse prophylaxis in recurrent depression»:
that Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is as effective as antidepressants in the treadment of depression. This is discussed by Antoine Lutz at 17:20 in the following video:
Antoine Lutz is in Richard Davidson’s group, and was first author of this PNAS paper which was published in 2024:

Why do Swiss medical doctors not suggest MBCT? Is meditation or MBCT too little investigated?
