It is a common experience of human beings that their minds and bodies are closely interlinked. Any disturbance in either of them is bound to affect the other. Mental worries do lead to physiological problems and bodily discomfort does impact the mind. Yoga and Ayurveda, the ancient Indian sciences recognized this symbiotic relationship of body and mind long ago and postulated the concepts of Adhi and Vyadhi. We all experience anxiety and depression at some time or the other in our lives. It is a normal helpful reaction to stressful demanding situations and is one of the several emotions that we experience in our lives in response to situations. It adversely affects work and mental health when it occurs too often and lasts too long. Depression and Anxiety take on the form of a disease when they affect you for months and disturb the quality of life when it becomes mandatory to seek medical help. The number of people suffering from anxiety and depression is on the increase and has become a common problem in the modern progressive affluent society.
