Why is it important?
Our findings are encouraging and support the use of mindfulness-based therapies for treating people with obsessive compulsive and related disorders. Individuals from lower- and middle-income countries appear to benefit more from mindfulness interventions than those from western or higher income countries.
Perspectives
Our article underscores the positive impact of mindfulness-based approaches and their potential advantages. Going forward, we call for long-term data to confirm our findings as well as larger studies done among people with hoarding and skin-picking disorder.
