What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: mindfulness training
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to help people with psychosis stay well and avoid relapse.
What could go wrong: This is a completed trial with 152 people, so results are limited. Mindfulness may not work for everyone, and the study only included people in early stages of illness.
