Assessment included physical examination (BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure), laboratory tests (metabolic parameters), and an ECG to screen for cardiac dysfunction. In addition, information on demographics, DSM-IV diagnoses and use of medications was documented. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according to ATP-III criteria. Patients were categorized following the criteria from the ADA as having normoglycemia (FG <5.6 mmol/l and HbA1C <5.7%), prediabetes (FG 5.6-6.9 mmol/l and/or HbA1C 5.7-6.4%) or diabetes (FG ≥7.0 mmol/l and/or HbA1C ≥6.5%).

However, clinicians and researchers are cautious given case reports in which extensive meditation provoked psychotic symptoms in people with a psychotic disorder. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility, adverse effects and possible favourable effects of mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) in people recently recovering from a first episode of psychosis.
