Reply to comment by Feralpudel in New study (n=276) finds that a standardized mindfulness program is as effective as a common antidepressant (Escitalopram) at treating anxiety, with both treatments leading to about a 30% reduction in symptoms. by fotogneric
>Otherwise I’m unconvinced that we weren’t just seeing all placebo effect in both arms. That said, a 30 percent improvement is a pretty large effect size.
I mean, it could be both, right? e.g. maybe it's 5 or 10% placebo & then the rest is the drug or MBSR. And the cool thing is that people "in real life" can of course do both drug & MBSR.

I wonder also if these tools would have greater effect together simply the sum (adding the % decreases together)?
