Schizophrenia is a complex

Professor Giese, Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College, London, said: "For the first time we have found that an enzyme activator called p35 is reduced in patients with schizophrenia."
Schizophrenia is a complex brain disorder often associated with patients experiencing delusions and hallucinations. Common symptoms include intense anxiety, loss of appetite and hygiene, social withdrawal and depressed mood. It is believed that genetics and chemical abnormalities in the brain may both contribute to the development of the condition.The patients who participated in yoga therapy presented significant improvements in schizophrenia symptoms, such as paranoia, depression and general psychopathology, when compared to the control group. Additionally, yoga therapy patients showed significant improvements in quality of life.
