Depression is the most common mental health problem through-out the world including India. It has significant burden on public health in India with prevalence of 4.4% and & 7.1% of total years lived with disability. Although, more focus is on mood symptoms in depression, presence of cognitive deficits is a matter of concern, according to the evidence. Research shows that, cognitive deficits are exclusively responsible for functional impairment and disabilities leading to poor quality of life and unemployment. Though the role of pharmacotherapy in remitting mood and physical symptoms is well known, cognitive deficits do persist, even after remission; especially in the domains of executive function, working memory and attention. This indicates that even the individuals are out of apparent depression, their ability to perform optimally in their roles in the society, is hindered. Since there is no standard, evidence-based solution for this issue, we, in this randomized controlled trial, aim at employing yoga as an adjuvant intervention in improving cognitive deficits. In this study 76 patients with remitted unipolar depression will be randomly assigned to yoga intervention and treatment as usual group. Both the groups will be assessed for cognitive functions at baseline, after intervention and 1 month later. The performance in cognitive tests will be compared across timeline and between two groups.  Previous studies have shown that yoga has positive effect on cognition in healthy and across various psychiatric disorders. Hence, if yoga is found to be effective in our current target population, it can serve as an implicit cognitive training intervention for cognitive deficits in remission phase of unipolar depression, which is well accepted, easily accessible and cost effective.
