Yoga Might Be Just What the Doctor Orders for Anxiety and Depression
Submitted by Wesley on May 22, 2007 - 5:12pm.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that mental illness, including depression and anxiety, makes up to fifteen percent of disease in the world. Depression and anxiety disorders are often treated with drugs exposing patients to potential side-effects. Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and McLean Hospital have found that by practicing yoga individuals might be able to elevate GABA (gamma-aminobutyric) levels and thus be a possible treatment for depression and anxiety. Anyone who has practiced yoga knows what a relaxing experience it can be. But the BU researchers have taken it a step further in determining exactly how yoga affects the brain making it far more than just a tool for relaxation.
