What people are saying
Numerous discussions highlight the complexities surrounding the publication, such as concerns about meditation's adverse effects being underreported, and the claim that mindfulness may not be risk-free, with phrases like 'transient distress' and 'negative impacts' frequently appearing. The tone ranges from inquisitive to critical, as some participants emphasize the importance of being aware of potential drawbacks, noting the study's finding that 83% of participants reported at least one adverse effect.
Most discussions recognize the potential for adverse effects in mindfulness practices, though some participants question the findings.
The high number of references and conversations indicates significant curiosity about the topic and its implications.
Several users delve into specifics, referencing studies and statistics related to meditation's effects.
Many contributors express that the findings could influence how mindfulness programs are viewed and implemented.
Abstract in brief
- Research on the negative effects of mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) is limited and has faced challenges due to imprecise methods.
- An independent study using the 44-item Meditation Experiences Interview (MedExI) found that 83% of participants reported experiencing at least one meditation-related side effect (MRSE).
- Negative effects were significant, with 58% reporting adverse experiences and 37% experiencing negative impacts on functioning, often linked to signs of dysregulated arousal and lasting distress.

@Breath_Guy 3) There's also little attention given to the negative effects of mindfulness mediation. My best guess is that these neg effects exist b/c mindfulness interventions don't really do much of anything so the neg issues would exist in those populations anyway: https://t.co/5dfC17k6j3
