Attorney Mindfulness Through Yoga Presented by: Dean Carla Pratt Date: Saturday, July 18 Time: 9 a.m. Location: Firepit near Pool, Lodge at Deadwood Depression and Anxiety Disorders: Benefits of Exercise, Yoga, and Meditation Sy Atezaz Saeed, MD; Karlene Cunningham, PhD; and Richard M. Bloch, PhD East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine, Greenville, North Carolina Many people with depression or anxiety turn to nonpharmacologic and nonconventional interven- tions, including exercise, yoga, meditation, tai chi, or qi gong. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews have shown that these interventions can improve symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders. As an adjunctive treatment, exercise seems most helpful for treatment-resistant depression, unipolar depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Yoga as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy shows pos- itive effects, particularly for depression. As an adjunctive therapy, it facilitates treatment of anxiety disorders, particularly panic disorder. Tai chi and qi gong may be helpful as adjunctive therapies for depression, but effects are inconsistent. As monotherapy or an adjunctive therapy, mindfulness-based meditation has positive effects on depression, and its effects can last for six months or more. Although positive findings are less common in people with anxiety disorders, the evidence supports adjunc- tive use. There are no apparent negative effects of mindfulness-based interventions, and their general health benefits justify their use as adjunctive therapy for patients with depression and anxiety disorders. (Am Fam Physician. 2019;99(10):620-627. Copyright © 2019 American Academy of Family Physicians.) Depression and anxiety disorders are among be effective for mild to moderate depression, but the most common psychiatric conditions, with less so for anxiety.2 However, the study designs an estimated 19.1% of U.S. adults experiencing had methodologic limitations, including lack anxiety and 10% experiencing depression in the of consistent definitions for exercise type (e.g., past year.1 Nearly one-half of people diagnosed aerobic, resistance), controls (e.g., other comple- with depression will also experience comorbid mentary treatments, waitlist controls), outcome anxiety.
