Mindfulness as Stabilization in Mental Healthcare

Mental stability, besides absence of mental illness, refers to one's ability at sustaining psychological well-being and quality of life. Conversely, one is deemed “mentally destabilized” by society, when one's moods, feelings, and/or actions are consistently unpredictable. As stabilization process is a very important factor in mental health care, this chapter aims to explore and explain the mindfulness process/strategy in stabilizing the affected participants at preventive, during, and post treatment stages as stand-alone or in conjunction with other pharmacological treatment. Relevant information was collected through the individual databases like Psych info, Sciencedirect.com, Embase, PubMed, Scholar.google.com, Medline, and research journals from open access university websites for writing.
