In the last few years, there has been a significant growth in research in the field of
non-pharmacological intervention in managing mental disorders. Yoga
intervention as a non-pharmacological approach has been used in several
research reports. Subjects like depression, schizophrenia and other mental
disorders have been explored by medical practitioners as well as psychologists.
There is an attempt to develop generic Yoga models for individual diseases and
validate the same. Such models, however, need more exploration.
