New Delhi: Yoga may help reduce the frequency of seizures, anxiety and feelings of stigma that frequently come with having epilepsy, according to a new study by AIIMS, Delhi.
People with epilepsy often face stigma that can cause them to feel different than others which can have a significant impact on their quality of life, said Dr Manjati Tripathy, said head of the Department of Neurology at AIIMS, PTI reported.
According to Tripathy, this stigma can affect a person’s life in many ways including treatment, emergency department visits, and poor mental health. Our study showed that doing yoga can alleviate the burden of epilepsy and improve the overall quality of life by reducing this perceived stigma, he was quoted as saying.
The study has been published in the medical research journal, Neurology.
