Mediation analysis of mental health characteristics linking social needs to life satisfaction among immigrants

BackgroundLife satisfaction contributes to improved long and healthy lives, enhanced biological function, better mental health, and decreased mortality risks. Social needs (e.g., food security, employment, healthcare utilization) are important determinants of mental health and life satisfaction among immigrants. However, there is limited literature on how social needs influence mental health, which, in turn, affects life satisfaction among immigrants. We examined whether mental health influences the mechanisms of the relationship between social needs and life satisfaction among immigrants. MethodsWe used the 2021 cross-sectional National Health Interview Survey data on U.S. immigrants (n = 4320) aged ≥18 years. We conducted weighted mediation analyses with multiple linear regression. Life satisfaction (scores 0–10; ≥1 as higher life satisfaction) was the dependent variable; independent variables were food security, employment, and healthcare utilization; and the mediator, serious psychological distress (SPD: scores 0–24; ≥1 as higher SPD). ResultsThe total effect (not accounting for SPD) of food insecurity (vs. secure) on life satisfaction was negative (β = −0.61, p < 0.001); the direct effect (after accounting for SPD) was not statistically significant (β = −0.21, p = 0.153), while the indirect effect (food insecurity's effect explained by SPD) was negative (β = −0.40, p < 0.001). The total (β = 0.32, p < 0.001), direct (β = 0.24, p = 0.004), and indirect (β = 0.09, p = 0.006) effects of being employed (vs. unemployed) on life satisfaction were positive. The total (β = −0.12, p = 0.116) and direct (β = −0.03, p = 0.683) effects of healthcare utilization within the past year (vs. more than a year) on life satisfaction were not statistically significant, whereas the indirect effect was negative (β = −0.09, p < 0.001). ConclusionsSPD mediates the effect of food security, healthcare utilization, and employment on life satisfaction, suggesting the need to improve social needs and mental health among immigrants.

Perceived Community Belonging as a Moderator of the Association Between Sexual Orientation and Health and Well-Being.

This study examines the moderating role of perceived community belonging in the association between sexual orientation and various health and well-being outcomes. A national cross-sectional survey. Confidential microdata from the 2021 Canadian Community Health Survey. Individuals aged 15 and older, with a sample size ranging from 43,000 to 44,100. Sexual orientation, health and well-being outcomes, and sense of community belonging were all self-reported. Outcomes included self-rated general and mental health, depressive symptoms, and life satisfaction. A series of multiple linear regression models. Compared to heterosexual individuals, bisexual individuals reported poorer self-rated general health (b = .402, P < .001 for men; b = .454, P < .001 for women) and mental health (b = .520, P < .001 for men; b = .643, P < .001 for women), higher depressive symptoms (b = 2.140, P < .001 for men; b = 2.685, P < .001 for women), and lower life satisfaction (b = .383, P < .05 for men; b = .842, P < .001 for women). Few disparities were observed among gay men and lesbians. Contrary to some recent findings, no disparities were observed among individuals uncertain about their sexual orientation or those who chose not to disclose it, even without controlling for covariates. A stronger sense of community belonging mitigated the disadvantages associated with self-rated general health (b = -.276, P < .01) and depressive symptoms (b = -.983, P < .01) for gay men, and life satisfaction (b = -.621, P < .01) for lesbians. This study is among the first to highlight the stress-buffering role of community belonging in the association between sexual orientation and health and well-being outcomes.

To Feel in My Flesh: Receptivity, Resonance, Representation, and The Beta Screen

When we are confronted with the challenge of trying to fully convey or describe something about human life and emotional experience, we find ourselves up against the very limitations of language. This problem becomes especially relevant as we attempt to expand psychoanalytic theory so as to enable us to “approach a mental life unmapped by the theories elaborated for the understanding of neurosis” (Bion1962, p. 37). This paper seeks to aid in that expansion by revisiting Bion’s early writings about the beta screen, extending his conclusions about communication from the psychotic part of the mind to the broad area of the unrepresented (the unstructured unconscious), suggesting that there is often a potentially communicative meaning, a mute plea for intersubjective regulatory assistance (alpha function), embedded in the unconscious evocation of emotions in the object and that this cry for help may be encrypted in even the most seemingly destructive, resistant and oppositional patients.

Trial of a Patient-Directed eHealth Program to Ameliorate Perinatal Depression: The MomMoodBooster2 Practical Effectiveness Study

ABSTRACT Perinatal depression and postpartum depression represent a significant burden for those who experience them and are associated with preterm birth, low birth weight, postpartum hospitalization, diminished mother-child relationships, offspring developmental delay, and other important markers of health and well-being. Perinatal depression, in particular, is underidentified and thus undertreated. This study was designed to assess the MMB eHealth program (MomMoodBooster2 [MMB2]), which is targeted toward perinatal depression, with an aim to assess the effectiveness of the smartphone version of this tool. Primary outcomes were targeted toward analyzing the extent to which MMB2 relieved the severity of anxiety and depression symptoms in general (using both perinatal and postpartum tools); secondary outcomes focused on usage trends along with ratings of usability and helpfulness. Participants were recruited from the Perinatal Depression Program (PDP) in the NorthShore University HealthSystem. Eligibility criteria included pregnant women and women less than a year postpartum, age older than 18 years, no active suicidal ideation, access to internet, and English language proficiency. REDCap (Vanderbilt University Nashville, Tenn) was used for onboarding and randomization. Final analyses included 191 patients randomized into 2 groups, one with MMB2 and the PDP protocol and one with only PDP. After program completion, 93% of patients completed an associated posttest. Primary screenings were not significantly different between groups, and baseline characteristics were likewise consistent. Controlling for perinatal status, posttests showed a significant decrease in depression severity, anxiety, stress, and automatic thoughts (P ≤ 0.001), as well as an increase in behavioral activation and self-efficacy. Further analysis showed that the MMB2 group showed greater decreases from baseline to posttest in both stress (P = 0.019) and depression severity (P = 0.003). No other significant effects were found when comparing the 2 groups. Usage of MMB2 varied, but generally showed that patients visited the program shortly after receiving the first invitation and then periodically on multiple distinct days between their first and last visit to their health care provider (mean [SD] visits, 49.4 [30.2] distinct days). Perinatal tools were used by 41% of participants, and 43% used postpartum tools, with 10% using both tools because of being pregnant at initial recruitment but delivering over the course of the study. The program included text messages for the first 12 weeks, and impact of these was not directly assessed. Of ratings provided, 96% rated the program as “somewhat” to “extremely” easy to use, and 83% of participants rated it as “somewhat” to “extremely” helpful. Many participants in both groups reported using other management strategies such as medication, therapy sessions, and physician advice, but use of these interventions did not differ between groups. These results indicate that MMB2 is effective at reducing anxiety and depression severity, as well as improving self-efficacy. Clinically, this eHealth tool may be an appropriate way to subsidize care for women where in-person options are limited or other options are unavailable. It could also be used to augment in-person options for management of depressive symptoms. Further research should focus on larger and more diverse populations, to understand if the findings are generalizable beyond this small population. In addition, the sustainability and adoption strategies should be optimized to allow this program to be as far reaching as possible. More research could also examine long-term follow-up and durability of the effects of this treatment.

Treating Psychosis Today: A Lacanian Take.

This paper examines the principal ideas from Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic theory of psychosis. According to Lacan's theory in the 1950s, the central organizing element of symbolically organized mental life, the Name-of-the-Father, is missing in psychosis. That theory changes with later conceptual developments in Lacan's work that focus on the incompleteness of symbolic functioning. This connects with how, in his works from the late 1960s and the 1970s, Lacan embraces the idea of a fundamental non-rapport and symbolic non-existence at the basis of mental life. In a second step, the paper explores what the Lacanian model of psychosis implies with regard to ethical positioning, addressing the unconscious, handling transference, and crisis and stability in psychosis. A clinical case discussion focuses on a yearlong therapeutic trajectory with a young man with Down's syndrome who suffered from psychotic experiences.

The path innovation of industrial upgrading and transformation of regional economy to the cognitive impairment of the patients

BackgroundWith the development of digital economy, industrial upgrading and transformation of the regional economy has become an important way to promote economic development and improve competitiveness. In this context, there is also increasing attention to patients with cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment is an elderly disease that affects physical and mental health and life quality. Therefore, it has great practical significance to study the application of industrial upgrading and transformation path innovation of regional economy to cognitive impairment patients from the perspective of the digital economy.Objects and Methods100 patients with cognitive impairment were selected as research objects by quantitative investigation. The Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire and 3-min Confusion Assessment Scale were used to assess anxiety level and cognitive state. The study also analyzed and compared the application of the digital economy in the treatment of cognitive impairment.ResultsResearch shows that accessible information and services provided through digital platforms and tools have a positive impact on cognitively impaired patients. According to the data, 80% of the patients used the online health management platform to acquire personalized rehabilitation programs and telemedicine services. They reported that the adoption of digital technologies has made them more autonomous and improved their quality of life and happiness.ConclusionsThe wide application of digital platforms and tools provides more opportunities and resources for patients with cognitive impairment. It also promotes the management and rehabilitation of cognitive impairment.

Different Levels of Leisure Walking and Mental Health Among Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Leisure walking has been found to be positively associated with increased mental health. However, the benefits of leisure walking of varying intensities on the mental health of older adults (>50years old) with mild cognitive impairment are not clear. This study employed 2020 Health and Retirement Study data to investigate the benefits of leisure walking for three groups based on levels of participation (low, mid, and high). We conducted a multivariate analysis of covariance (n = 834) to examine the group mean differences (MDs). The respondents in the high and mid groups presented higher life satisfaction and happiness than those in the low group. The high group had lower loneliness and stress scores than those in the low and mid groups. These findings indicate that older adults with mild cognitive impairment gained more mental health benefits and life satisfaction through moderate and vigorous leisure walking than through light leisure walking.

Ayurvedic management of Ekakushtha (Psoriasis): A case study

Abstract: Ekakushtha, comparable to psoriasis, is a non-infectious, autoimmune, chronic inflammatory disease of the skin characterized by well-defined erythematous plaques with silvery scale occurring mainly on the extensor surface, scalp, and having a chronic course. It is relapsing in nature. It affects not only the physical state of the patient but also impacts mental and social life of the patient. A 17-year-old male patient presented to the Ayurveda outpatient department with complaints of itchy scaly lesions on the head, chest, abdomen, back, and bilateral upper and lower limbs from the past five years. He was diagnosed with Ekakushtha and Shamana chikitsa (~palliative procedures) was planned in the management. The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score was used to assess the outcome. The PASI score has decreased from 21.8 to 0.8. The present case report illustrates the significance of Ayurvedic treatment in the management of Ekakushtha, and the outcome infers that chronic, non-communicable, auto-immune diseases can be managed with Ayurveda approaches successfully.

Social participation, positive affect, and negative affect in postoperative patients with hip fractures: A cross-sectional study.

This study investigated the social participation, positive affect (PA), and negative affect (NA) of patients with hip fractures after surgery and determined their possible predictive factors. We used a cross-sectional study design to recruit 154 participants with hip fractures post-surgery. Assessment tools included the Barthel Index, the Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire, the Assessment of Life Habits, and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Patients with better functioning in daily living activities experienced more social participation, higher PA, and lower NA. Patients with more positive automatic thoughts experienced more social participation and higher PA. Patients with more negative automatic thoughts experienced more social participation, lower PA, and higher NA. Early rehabilitation and psychosocial interventions should be provided for postoperative hip fracture patients to improve their activities of daily living and emotional well-being.

PSYCHOTHERAPY AND PSYCHOEDUCATION AT WORK WITH PSYCHOTRAUMA IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR

The article is devoted to an actual problem of our time - the work of psychologists and psychotherapists with psychotraumas during the war. The purpose of the article is to determine the features of psychotherapy and psychoeducation in working with psychotraumas in war conditions. A separate task of the research was the development of a methodical approach to the harmonization of the psychological state of a traumatized person and obtaining criteria for the formation of components of such a state during the war. Useful psychological techniques are proposed and necessary psychological help for psychological trauma during the war is detailed. A complex of scientific and educational cycles of psychoeducational video materials is presented, which change the war frame to a resource one, which is actively introduced into the educational process and implemented in applied professional activities in various fields of psychological science and practice, etc. The article presents a set of practical exercises, methods of neurolinguistic programming, individual practices of working with oneself, key mistakes in war conditions, ways of transitioning from a state of decline to a state of elevation. Ericksonian hypnosis is proposed in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder - a complex mental condition that arises as a result of trauma. The experience of hypnotherapy as a therapy with an artificial lie for the sake of a positive result is presented. Erikson's hypnotherapy is a psychotherapeutic approach that uses a hypnotic trance to help the patient use their own mental associations, memories, and life potential to achieve their therapeutic goals. Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness similar to sleep. This is the fixation of attention on comfortable associations, etc. Thus, the obtained data can be useful in determining the directions of work with psychotraumas during the war and in the future should be considered as targets of social and medical support in the creation of differentiated psychorehabilitation programs.

Computer-Assisted Avatar-Based Treatment for Dysfunctional Beliefs and Eating-Disorder Symptomatology: A Randomized Control Pilot Study

Dysfunctional beliefs influence the pathogenesis and maintenance of eating disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) aims to modify these specific beliefs and mediate functional patterns of appraisal and thinking. The present pilot study aims to experimentally validate a computer-assisted avatar-based treatment (CAT-DB) to reduce dysfunctional body-related cognitions and symptom severity in a sample with subclinical eating disorder symptomatology. In a randomized controlled trial, 48 participants were assigned to either the control group or CAT-DB. The conviction of individual body-related cognitions and eating disorder-specific symptom expression was measured shortly before the beginning of the intervention (pre-measurement), directly after the intervention (post-measurement), and 14 days later (follow-up). There was a significant interaction effect for symptom severity, as reductions in eating disorder-specific symptomatology were significantly greater in the CAT-DB group compared to the control group at follow-up. Compared to the control group, CAT-DB resulted in non-significant but expected improvements in individual body-related automatic thoughts. The present study offers preliminary evidence suggesting that CAT-DB could be efficacious in addressing certain symptoms associated with eating disorders. Further studies with representative clinical samples diagnosed with eating disorders are needed to provide more evidence of the efficacy of CAT-DB as a support for classical CBT in a variety of therapeutic and research contexts.

Mental health and life satisfaction among those advised to shield during the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK: a secondary analysis of the Understanding Society longitudinal study.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, those considered most vulnerable to adverse outcomes from infection were designated "clinically extremely vulnerable" and advised to "shield." This involved prolonged confinement at home with strict limits on face-to-face contact, beyond national restrictions. Shielding ended in September 2021 and was considered likely to have harmed mental health and wellbeing. As the UK moved toward a new phase of "living with COVID-19" the mental health and wellbeing experiences of those advised to shield may have diverged from the general population. This study is a secondary analysis of nine "COVID-19 Survey" waves of Understanding Society, a longitudinal study of UK participants covering April 2020 to September 2021 alongside pre-pandemic baseline data. The prevalence of clinically significant psychological distress (General Health Questionnaire 12) and low life satisfaction were examined at each wave for participants with longitudinal responses across all waves, stratified by receipt of shielding guidance (Received n = 410, Not received n = 6,878). Mixed effects regression modeling examined associations between shielding guidance receipt and mental health and life satisfaction when adjusting for potential confounders including age and sex, pre-pandemic mental health/life satisfaction, and loneliness. Those who received shielding guidance were more likely to experience poor mental health and low life satisfaction during the pandemic. However, this largely reflected differences in pre-pandemic baselines. Variation between waves broadly coincided with the changing burden of COVID-19 and associated restrictions, with similar patterns regardless of shielding guidance receipt. Regression modeling combining data across all waves indicated that receipt of shielding guidance did not independently predict adverse outcomes. However, poor pre-pandemic mental health and low life satisfaction, and frequent loneliness, as well as demographic factors including sex and age, consistently predicted adverse pandemic mental health and wellbeing. While those who received shielding guidance did on average experience poorer mental health and life satisfaction during the pandemic, this study suggests this largely reflects existing inequalities. Drawing on data throughout the shielding program, it addresses an existing evidence gap. These findings reinforce the importance of addressing existing mental health inequalities in the recovery from the current pandemic and for future preparedness.

Predicting Social Life Integration Based on Automatic Thoughts and Resilience Among Children and Adolescents

Predicting Social Life Integration Based on Automatic Thoughts and Resilience Among Children and Adolescents

Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy for Social Anxiety Disorder: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial in Hong Kong.

Social anxiety disorder (SAD), also known as social phobia, is one of the most common mental disorders worldwide. In Hong Kong, the prevalence of SAD is high, but its treatment rate is low. SAD has immense impact on academic or work performance, social life, career development, and quality of life. One of the most effective treatments for SAD is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with internet-based CBT (iCBT) and virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) showing promise in treating SAD. However, internet interventions are underdeveloped in Chinese communities including Hong Kong. This study aims to develop an iCBT program that includes VRET, called "Ease Anxiety in Social Event Online" (Ease Online), for Hong Kong adults with SAD in a randomized controlled trial. The 14-week Ease Online program is a guided self-help iCBT program with a blended mode of service delivery. The program comprises 9 web-based modules and 5 individual counseling sessions (including 2 VRET sessions) conducted remotely or face-to-face with a therapist to provide therapist support, as guided iCBT shows superior effects than unguided iCBT. Other program components include therapist feedback on assignments, internal messages, forums, client portfolios, web-based questionnaires, reminders, and web-based bookings. The program can be accessed either through a mobile app or program website through a PC with an internet connection. The participants are openly recruited and screened using a questionnaire and through an intake interview. Eligible participants are randomized by placing them into a web-based iCBT group, app-based iCBT group, or a waitlist control (WLC) group. Participants in the WLC group are assigned to the app-based program upon completion of the service of the 2 experimental groups. Measurements of social anxiety, depression and anxiety symptoms, psychological distress, automatic thoughts, and quality of life are administered at pretest, posttest, and 3- and 6-month follow-ups. Multivariate ANOVA with repeated measures will be performed to determine the intervention effectiveness on the continuous variables over time. Participant recruitment commenced in January 2021. As of February 2023, a total of 1811 individuals applied for the Ease Online program. In total, 401 intake interviews have been completed, and 329 eligible participants have joined the program, among whom 166 have completed the service. Data collection is still ongoing, which is expected to be completed in March 2024. This study is the first of its kind in combining iCBT and VRET for the treatment of SAD in Hong Kong. At a theoretical level, this study contributes to the development and evaluation of internet-based psychological interventions in Hong Kong. At a practical level, the Ease Online program may serve as an alternative service option for SAD clients in Hong Kong if proven effective.

The Relationship between Leisure Time Participation, Automatic Thought and Life Satisfaction in Pre-Service Teachers

AbstractThe aim of this study is to examine pre-service teachers' leisure time participation, automatic thought and life satisfaction levels according to some variables and to determine the relationship between them. A sample of 862 (468 female, 394 male) pre-service teachers studying a state university provided responses. In the study, 'Life Satisfaction Scale' (LSS) and 'Revised Automatic Thought Questionnaire (ATQ-R)' were administered on the participants. Descriptive statistical methods, t-test, ANOVA and correlation analyses were used in the data analysis. Pre-service teachers' automatic thought perceptions were at low level, while life satisfaction perceptions were at middle level. The scores of the LSS and ATQ-R did not differ significantly according to gender, department and grade level. While the scores of ATQ-R did not differ significantly according to income and leisure time evaluation, the scores of LSS differed significantly. On the other hand, the scores of both LSS and the ATQ-R differed significantly according to the frequency of participation in recreational activities. And also, there was a negative and moderate correlation between pre-service teachers’ life satisfaction and automatic thought perceptions. Results showed that the life satisfaction and automatic thought perceptions of male and female students did not change. It was determined that the participants' life satisfaction and automatic thought perceptions did not differ according to department and grade level. In addition, participants with high income and pre-service teachers who stated that they participate in social, cultural and artistic activities in leisure time had higher life satisfaction. As participation recreational activities in leisure time increased, the life satisfaction perception increased, and the perception of automatic thought decreased. In addition, as the participants' life satisfaction perceptions increased, their automatic thought perceptions also decreased.Keywords: Automatic Thought Perception, Leisure Time, Life Satisfaction, Pre-Service Teacher

O.1.1-6 Active in Mind: a 6-year synthesis of the effects of a physical activity and mental health-focused programme on young people in a school-based setting

Abstract Purpose Mental health issues in young people are rising and have many adverse impacts on their health, development and education. The Active in Mind programme is a free to access, school-based intervention that uses physical activity as a vehicle for improving young people’s physical, mental and social wellbeing, whilst addressing physical inactivity. The programme is led by an Athlete Mentor, alongside student mentors, and targets young people with low-moderate mental health issues, who are not receiving statutory support, as mentees. Project description The Active in Mind programme was first piloted in 2016. Subsequent iterations of the programme have been based on evidence from both previous approaches of each implementation and evaluation, as well as the evolution of the needs of young people and schools. Together, the Active in Mind programme has always sought to address the current needs of schools and young people, with evidence-based core components that can be adapted based on school needs. To date, the programme has reached 21,216 young people. Survey data from young people at baseline and post-programme across this time period has been synthesised. Overall, synthesised outcome data from a subset of young people demonstrates improvements in mentees’ physical activity levels, mental and social wellbeing, whilst improving mentors’ life skills such as leadership, team working and communication skills. Differences in outcomes between mentors and mentees are present, as well as differences in young people from less and more affluent backgrounds. Conclusion The current synthesis of self-reported data demonstrates the effectiveness of a free to access school-based physical activity programme on young people’s physical activity levels, mental and social wellbeing and life skills. A strength of the programme is its evidence-based implementation and evaluation and that it provides a solution for the current challenges schools are facing around young people’s mental and physical wellbeing. The programme’s evaluations have contributed to design and development of future Youth Sport Trust programmes. In addition, evaluations of the programme have also evolved across the time period to ensure the most influential format of evidence is created, in order to influence external policymakers and decision makers at the time.

From the breakdown of psychiatry during nazism and the Nuremberg Code, to the materialist neuropsychological model in contemporary science and society: A bioethical analysis

The breakdown of German psychiatry with the coming to power of the National Socialist regime in 1933 resulted in a revival after the war of bioethical issues, the immediate effect of which was the enactment of the Nuremberg Code. In many ways, this breakdown was the result of the historical evolution of psychomedical knowledge and the mass dissemination of reductionist discourses and ideas that created a breeding ground for tragedy. The cyclical discourse of psychic materialism, which has been repeated for centuries in the history of science in different formulations, can, if not properly interpreted, lead to far-reaching appropriations and risks, to which due attention must be paid. The latest manifestation of this issue, the view of mental life as basically cerebral, neurological, biochemical, and determinist, a view that has not been managed or presented adequately to the public, could become the basis for perverse new perspectives and applications in the current context of research and academic activity.

Gadget Addiction in Children and Its Management Through Ayurveda: A Review Article

Gadget addiction in children is a new problem arising all over the world and this addiction affects the growth and development ofchildren with a greater impact on their social behavior. Addiction is a social stigma in society. Any addiction is a result of attraction toward the badthing. In Ayurveda, literature acharyas describe various methods to control the mind's desires and restrain bad habits. Our aim in this study is toreview the literature on Ayurveda methods that could be beneficial in the management of gadget addiction. In Ayurveda literature,PadanshikaKrarma, AcharaRasayana, SatvavajayaChikitsa, and Yoga have been proven actions to control the mind. A benefit of applying thismethodology is that they are cost-effective, requires minimal infrastructure, and requires minimal persons for this therapy. Yogchikitsa has beentraditionally practiced for centuries in India; hence, people easily accept it. Along with de-addiction, it improves the general well-being of a person.PadanshikaKrama, AcharaRasayana, and SatvavajayaChikitsa are the methods to change the patient's thinking and divert his mind from unwholesomethings to wholesome things. Though Gadgets are helpful in day-to-day life, their excessive use harms mental, physical, and social life, academicgoals, and career. Children are future adults; hence, it is necessary to de-addict them as early as possible. Therefore, building a generation that canopt for a healthy lifestyle over any addiction is necessary. It could be possible by using a good code of conduct as per Ayurveda andSatvavajayachikitsa, restraining the mind from unwholesome objects. Previous studies were conducted in developed countries and in urban areas ofIndia where all the facilities are available but expensive. Hence in developing countries, Yoga is more convenient because Yoga is traditionallypracticed in India and people are aware of its benefits and the method of conducting Yoga. Hence it will be easier to train Children and theirparents regarding Non-pharmacological interventions suggested in Sattvavajay, which is almost free of cost; hence anyone can afford it without anyhesitation.
