著名的英國女喜劇演員Ruby Wax透露，她曾藉由修習止觀法門來克服她的沮喪，這是一種混合現代療法與古代禪坐的方式Ruby 說止觀對她的憂鬱症獲得療治是最重要的因素

曾以教學與研究止觀法為目標的本高大學Bangor University正對此法進行一項臨床實驗和另一類似的項目！以評估經他們授予止觀法的這些過去曾患過『復發性憂鬱症』的病患，對抗減輕復發性憂鬱的有效性，他們希望能募得300多名此類病患，參與此項實驗

Ruby Wax對止觀療法曾讓她有重大的改變，存有很深刻的印象，她經學習後，現已具備專業治療師與訓練師的資格！

她說『我的經驗中處於壓力下，藉由禪坐的修習，是讓我能解除身心雙重焦慮的唯一方法，我的心跳會減低，我的心靈更澄澈，我更能有效的處理事情！』

多年來曾幫助人們應付壓力與有自殺情結者的本高大學教授馬克威廉說:『我們發現曾受過一次沮喪之受害者，有可能經歷更多次短暫的憂鬱而自殺，但人們可藉由學習正確的止觀技巧擺脫他們！
