Adding meditation and compassion-focused group therapy to standard care for patients with eating disorders, drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and depression improved acceptance, mindfulness awareness, self-compassion, and psychological distress within the group that received the extra therapy. However, at the end of the study, there were no statistically significant differences between the group receiving the added therapy and the group receiving standard care alone on any of the four measured scales. The comparison between groups was limited by data availability.
