“It’s the very first study in the U.S. that’s looking at yoga as a sole treatment for diagnosed major depression,” lead researcher Dr. Sudha Prathikanti told KTVU. Prathikanti evaluated men and women, age 18 to 72. The participants were diagnosed with major depression, but it was mild or moderate, not severe.
