Yoga is not a discovery of modern medicine. Elements of yoga have long been used by every system of medicine. However, there came a time in the recent history of modern medicine when it came to rely almost exclusively on drugs and surgery for treatment of disease. The rediscovery of yoga by medicine was triggered by the emergence of cardiovascular diseases, cancer and complications of diabetes as the major killers. It was soon realized that these diseases are the result of a poor lifestyle and undue mental stress. This led to a search for better lifestyles as well as for stress management techniques.

A combination of Integrated ICT Applications with Space Communication is now melding teaching-learning and research in higher education into a coagulated whole known as OPEN & DIGITAL LEARNING. The implications are deep and wide. It frees higher education from the trammel net of class-room bound face to-face teaching and makes it possible to address the new inquisitions and ventures of academia in areas like yoga studies and subjects requiring union of physical and mental disciplines. It unfolds, simultaneously, the innate potential of such flexible and open learning environment/s.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”57px”][vc_btn title=”Download Newsletter” color=”warning” align=”center” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fnimhansyoga.in%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F01%2FSamatvam_Jan2019.pdf||target:%20_blank|”][vc_separator][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3664″ img_size=”213×314″ alignment=”center”][vc_custom_heading text=”Dr.Arun V Ravindran” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:15|text_align:center|color:%23ff2869″ google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_custom_heading text=”Professor and Director Global Mental Health Affairs & The office of fellowship training, Department of Psychiatry ” font_container=”tag:h5|font_size:12|text_align:justify|color:%232489e2″ google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]
Depression is a common mental illness with significant morbidity, rated by WHO as a leading cause of disability. Despite extensive research on its pathology and treatment, depression remains a difficult illness to treat. Current first-line treatments, which include pharmacological agents and psychological therapies, demonstrate only moderate success, as up to 50% of individuals do not respond to treatment. Even those who do respond often exhibit only partial improvement and frequently have recurrences. Other limitations include troublesome adverse effects and high cost of medications, as well as limited availability of psychological therapies – all of which contribute to poor adherence.
