Integrated Yoga and Naturopathy Treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A Single Case Report

Overwhelming worry and apprehensions, particularly in public settings, are hallmarks of social anxiety disorder. There is a persistent misconception that someone is constantly observing, assessing, or observing their actions. A patient with generalized anxiety disorder was the subject of the current case report. Numerous metrics showed a notable improvement following the supervision of Yogasana, Pranayama, Omkara chanting, meditation, naturopathy, and thought replacement treatment. Before and after day therapy, assessments on several scales were conducted, and there was a six-month follow-up. These resulted in a reduction of 69.60 on the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), a 46% reduction on the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), and an improvement of 43.49% in the physical domain, 34% in the psychological domain, 11.53% in the social relationship domain, and 27.90% in the environment domain of the WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire (QuoL-BREF). Therefore, it is proven that integrated approach of Yoga and naturopathy plays a beneficial role in GAD.

Abstract

Overwhelming worry and apprehensions, particularly in public settings, are hallmarks of social anxiety disorder. There is a persistent misconception that someone is constantly observing, assessing, or observing their actions. A patient with generalized anxiety disorder was the subject of the current case report. Numerous metrics showed a notable improvement following the supervision of Yogasana, Pranayama, Omkara chanting, meditation, naturopathy, and thought replacement treatment. Before and after day therapy, assessments on several scales were conducted, and there was a six-month follow-up. These resulted in a reduction of 69.60 on the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), a 46% reduction on the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), and an improvement of 43.49% in the physical domain, 34% in the psychological domain, 11.53% in the social relationship domain, and 27.90% in the environment domain of the WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire (QuoL-BREF). Therefore, it is proven that integrated approach of Yoga and naturopathy plays a beneficial role in GAD.
