Brief Summary  

This is a research study being conducted at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru, to develop and validate a yogic assessment of mental afflictions (YAMA) scale. We are trying to understand mental health difficulties from yoga philosophy perspectives. There is an ancient yogic text called Patanjali Yoga Sutra which describes factors that can enhance mental health and factors that can disturb the mental health. We would like to develop a questionnaire based on these principles. We have named this tool as YAMA scale which stands for yogic assessments of mental afflictions.
