Role of Yoga-Practices in the Management of Anxiety and Depression

Abstract

Tripathi KM and Singh RH

The problems of mental health as well as stress disorders on the one hand and the promising potentials of yogapractices to arouse positive neuro-physiological and psychological changes, on the other, have been subjects of consistent pursuit of medical and psychological research for the last five decades. In the present study too, based on clinical intervention of yoga-practices on 64 cases of psychological disorders, the impact of yoga-practices in the management of psychological problems was assessed critically and here for two schedules of yoga-practices were so standardized, that one of the schedule was expected to produce composing effect whereas the other was framed to cause bioenergy activation. Both the schedules of yoga-practices in the study comprised similar kinds of yogapractices. The cases underwent through follow-up assessments after 6, 12, and 18 weeks and evaluated on adequate psychological parameters. It was noted that the second schedule i.e. Schedule B was found to be effective in causing changes in affective behaviour patterns.
