Yoga and a strong mind
This morning I had a discussion with one of my students about people with psychosis. I have learned from my student that psychosis is proven to be caused by a lack of lithium, a chemical disorder in the body. In what way can yoga help those people or is there no way. The person we were talking about is her daughter, and she is taking lithium now. Do you know of cases with psychoses where yoga can be of any help? And how?

Usually yoga is not recommended with any serious phycological disorders.
Namaste,
