Can mindfulness ease serious mental illness? new study aims to find out

This study tests whether adding mindfulness-based therapy to usual care helps people with serious mental illness (like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression) feel better and improve their quality of life. Researchers will enroll 160 adults from a community mental health center and randomly assign them to either standard treatment or standard treatment plus mindfulness therapy. The goal is to see if this approach works in real-world U.S. clinics and can be widely adopted.
