Mask Yoga
Overcoming unhappiness and depression ... Is Yoga overlooked as a potential cure for these problems?

Yoga and the deeper aspects yoga practices appear to be quite effective in correcting the problems that people with low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. I'm curious know why these practices that sustain life are generally ignored, taking powerful drugs are encouraged (which often only mask the problem, and have negative side effects as well). Maybe people do not know about it??? Or perhaps not want to take the time to do things like this??? I'm curious to know what think. Why is it that a natural cure is not even considered by those who have these serious problems? And this is my question: If I get upset that suggests this kinds of things people talk about these issues in this forum for questions from Yahoo? Or am I wasting my time doing?

Hi there. I teach yoga and also have worked and been a consumer of social services, and I've met so many people have found yoga and meditation for the recovery transformer of depression. You're right, it can be a tremendously powerful tool and definitely worth suggesting to people dealing with depression and mood probs. I am sure already know that it can increase strenth and flexibility, strengthen the mind and body, reduce and change negative thinking, relieve stress, soothe and tone the nervous system, releases endorphins, and more. People in eastern yoga and meditation have been used for hundreds of years to handle things like unhappiness and depression, Huh?! Like you metioned wisely, yoga can remedy problems of self-esteem, anxiety control, and strengthening a depressed mood. That said, I think depression type in question is important to consider when trying to determine the extent to which yoga can help. Often serious clinical depression can be helped by those things, but ultimately can only take the edge off the questions of mood or reduce to some extent before medication and therapy is necessary. Especially with those who have dealt with depression for a long time. But even with medication, yoga can be very enriching and instill a sense of trust and give sense of control to those who have been deprived of these things for depression. I think that yoga is suggesting great, always suggested as a potential tool for many and did seem like a panacea (though it might be for some). Considering it is a complement of alternatives, as well as medications and other treatments, might be more useful thing. FYI, here are two great books on yoga that could be very useful in this topic: Yoga for depression by Amy Weintraub Yoga and the quest for true self, by Stephen Cope * High five * to look at the broader picture and suggests "alternative" forms of healing mental health problems. I am sure that many people who will benefit from your suggestions! Take good care!
