Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) reduce emotional dysregulation and improve emotional regulation, coping skills, and neurological functioning in adolescents. Emotional dysregulation—frequent, intense emotions with poor coping—is a key concern during adolescence, linked to mental health challenges. A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines found that MBIs, which cultivate nonjudgmental present-moment awareness, effectively enhance self-regulation of emotions and behavior. The findings suggest MBIs can serve as both a preventative and therapeutic strategy for adolescent mental health.
