On the second morning of NFSI 2019, Prof. B.N. Gangadhar, Director, NIMHANS, Bengaluru, delivered his keynote address on ‘The Roadmap of Integrating AYUSH in India’s Public Health System’. Prof.Gangadhar spoke about the concept of connectedness and Yoga, and how through his research he has found that the integration of yoga in therapy has brought significant changes in the neurobiology and the social cognition of patients with mental illness, especially schizophrenia and autism. He chose yoga as a therapeutic aid as the aspect of mind is automatically encompassed within it. Thus, from the concept of Ashtanga Yoga, he chose asana and pranayama in therapeutic procedures and found that these led to substantial alterations in brain activity, as well as the levels of various helpful brain chemicals and hormones, in patients with schizophrenia and autism. In his research, patients with negative symptoms of schizophrenia had more elevations in their symptoms compared to positive symptom patients. He concluded by saying, “Connectedness processes of Yoga correct the ‘schism’ of Schizophrenia”.
