Acceptance and present-moment awareness in psychiatric disorders: Is mindfulness mood dependent?

Effects of mindfulness training on the default mode network in borderline personality disorder

“…Acceptance is a particularly important domain in mindfulness‐based interventions. Deficits in acceptance have been observed in several psychiatric diagnoses including subjects with BPD even after controlling by the mood levels (Elices et al, ). Increasing acceptance enables individuals to attain, in a nonevaluative manner, towards one's personal experience of “being,” without being carried away by emotions and thoughts.…”

“…As expected, selfreported symptoms of depression were inversely and significantly related to DoM. This finding is congruent with previous studies that have consistently reported inverse correlations between acceptance, decentering, and non-attachment with depression indexes in both clinical and non-clinical populations (1,2,28,29,89). Nevertheless, future research testing the relation between the DoM and the existent psychopathology related to depression is needed to draw the potential transdiagnostic nature and utility of the construct.…”

“…In all cases, one relinquishes involvement and frees oneself from the need for things to be different (40)(41)(42). These attitudinal components, which are closely related to acceptance, could be more stable and reliable characteristics than the attentional component of mindfulness, which appear to be mood dependent (2). Given the theoretical and psychometric correlation among acceptance, decentering, and non-attachment, we hypothesized that these concepts may, in fact, be different semantic expressions, or the building blocks, of the same latent construct.…”

“…In recent years, mindfulness has become an important health-related concept, and the absence of mindfulness has been consistently associated with clinical symptoms, both medical and psychological (1,2). By contrast, the presence of mindfulness has been positively correlated with quality of life and well-being (3)(4)(5)(6).…”
