Is Mindfulness worth prioritizing?

The clearest and most rigorously tested application of structured mindfulness programs is relapse prevention in recovered depression: an individual-patient-data meta-analysis in JAMA Psychiatry, later corroborated by a network meta-analysis, found mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) reduces depressive relapse about as effectively as maintenance antidepressants. Weighing that against the numbers, Mindfulness is a strong candidate to prioritize — it combines strong evidence (79/100) with a high estimated impact on longevity (66/100).
