Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a clinically validated treatment for recurrent depression developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale. It combines cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with mindfulness meditation, and clinical trials have shown it reduces the rate of depressive relapse by approximately 50% in patients who have had three or more prior episodes — making it as effective as antidepressant medication for relapse prevention. MBCT is now recommended by the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a first-line treatment for recurrent depression.
