Efficacy Of Yoga Therapy In Anxiety Disorders A Randomized Controlled Trial

By Annapoorna K

Anxiety disorders are the most common of all mental health problems and often are chronic requiring ongoing medical or psychiatric care, including psychosocial therapies. Some of the non-drug therapies such as Cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, and exposure therapies have proved efficacious. There has been a paucity of research on the role of yoga in anxiety disorders. Yoga is a practical discipline incorporating a wide variety of practices whose goal is the development of a state of mental and physical health, well-being, and inner harmony. Yoga therapy includes the practice of physical postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation techniques.
This Randomization Controlled Trial revealed that there was a significant improvement in anxiety symptoms in combination therapy, i.e., medicine and yoga therapy than in each of these modalities taken alone. A combination of medications and yoga therapy reduced anxiety scores indicating stabilization of mental balance and improving the quality of life in patients with Anxiety disorders.
