The answer would be that the human being is a whole whether indivdually treated with CBT or in group (mindfulness is a type of CBT). In anxiety norepinehrine turnover in nucleus coeruleus is increased and in depression 5-Ht level in nucleus raphe is changed and so on. THis is an oversimplication but depression does not have a specific spot on the HPA-axis, the human mind affects many transmitters and when the mood lifts the level of transmitters are effected in many parts of the body.
