Associations Between Mindfulness, PTSD, and Depression in Combat Deployed Post-9/11 Military Veterans

ConclusionsThe associations of mindfulness with PTSD and depressive symptoms were greater in magnitude than the associations for combat experiences, and mindfulness explained a large and significant proportion of the variance in outcomes. Additional longitudinal research investigating how mindfulness skills and strategies may buffer against risk for PTSD and depression posed by combat experience is warranted in this high risk population.
