Washington: Yoga has shown promising results in major psychiatric disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, ADHD and sleep complaints, say findings from a review of over 100 studies.
Emerging evidence in support of the 5,000-year-old Indian practice is "highly promising" and showed that yoga may not only help to improve symptoms, but also may also prevent stress-related mental illnesses, said P. Murali Doraiswamy, professor of psychiatry and medicine at Duke, who co-authored the study with Meera Balasubramaniam.
