Panacea

Sometimes all the cognitive therapy techniques and affirmations in the world don't help. Mindfulness is the next big thing in 'treating' depression and anxiety - and people I know are heavily involved in this new industry. It does help, but it's not a panacea. (Beyond Blue)

There's that old saying: when the only tool you have is a hammer, then everything starts to look like a nail. The mindfulness brigade are a bit like this at times.
