It is also worth noting that a study out of Georgetown University Medical Center was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA Psychiatry, 2022) showing that mindfulness-based stress reduction was a well-tolerated treatment option with comparable (non-inferior) effectiveness to a first-line medication for patients with anxiety disorders.

“Using the concepts I learned in the MBSR course, I’ve been able to let go of my OCD-type thoughts and more effectively manage my anxiety. I discontinued use of my anxiety medication as a result.”*
