Meditation is a popular topic in psychology these days. Many psychologists do recommend meditation as a way to help people cope with stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues. There is a growing body of research that suggests meditation can be an effective treatment for various psychological problems. A recent review of the research on meditation found that it can help reduce anxiety, depression, and pain (Kabat-Zinn, 2013). Meditation has also been shown to improve sleep quality (Dahl et al., 2015) and increase self-compassion (Neff & Germer, 2013).
