Abstract
Background: Anxiety disorders are common mental health disorders with huge influence on the clients and the community. Of course, conventional remedies, which are beneficial for numerous patients, are not without drawbacks, and this is why, in addition, such treatment as Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) is essential.
Aim: The objective of this work will be therefore to assess the efficacy of MBIs in the treatment of anxiety disorders and the processes through which these interventions may do so.
Method: A systemic review stands for the psychiatric assessment in the study design that combined the literature review, trials, and meta-analysis. Based on the identified inclusion criteria concerning the participants, the types of anxiety disorders, intervention contacts, and assessment outcomes, relevant studies were included. Hemodynamic values and symptom-rating scales were considered quantitative data, while the interviews and self-appraisal questionnaires formed qualitative data. This endeavour involved the use of statistical methods and thematic analysis to look for meaning in the data while observing the ethical considerations.
Results: A review of the selected studies proved that there was marked diminished symptoms of anxiety after MBIs and there was higher improvement relative to conventional therapies. Neurobiological alterations and psychological processes were some of the factors that were found to have a close relationship with the said outcomes. Some of the benefits elicited by the patients included favourable changes in mood and cognitive abilities.
Conclusion: As shown in this article, Mindfulness-Based Interventions appear as germane supplemental treatments to patients of anxiety disorder as they ameliorate their status and quality of life via neurobiological and psychological aspects. Such integration into clinical practice might possibly bring into the provision of health care numerous benefits to the society.
