However, the specific mechanisms that drive these effects, mainly through obsessive beliefs and mental well?being, are seldom examined. Aim: To explore the mechanisms by which mindfulness influences symptom severity in adults with comorbid OCD and MDD, focusing on the mediating roles of obsessive beliefs and mental well-being. Methods: Primary data from 60 treatment-seeking adults with comorbid OCD and MDD were analyzed. Ordinary least-squares path analysis was employed to examine the mediating roles of obsessive beliefs and mental well-being in the relationship between mindfulness and the severity of OCD and MDD symptoms. Results: Mindfulness was significantly associated with reduced symptom severity for both OCD (? = ? 0.40, P &lt; 0.001) and MDD (? = ? 0.49, P &lt; 0.001). For MDD, obsessive beliefs (? = ? 0.20, P &lt; 0.001) and mental well?being (? = ? 0.33, P &lt; 0.001) significantly mediated the relationship. In contrast, no significant indirect effects were observed for OCD symptoms through obsessive beliefs (? = ? 0.10, P = 0.16) or mental well?being (? = ? 0.08, P = 0.20). Conclusion: These findings highlight the distinct mechanisms of mindfulness in comorbid OCD and MDD, underscoring the importance of customized interventions based on specific pathways. 2025 Indian Journal of Psychiatry.
