“…This is evident as a scientific database search on Yoga and youth in India generates 45% studies focussed on only cognitive benefits of yoga. Teen mental health is a grave concern (Chadda, 2018; Harikrishnan et al, 2017; Malla et al, 2018; Reddy, 2019) and our study, although cross-sectional, fills the gap in literature. It investigates the efficacy of a yoga based practice in a school setting on mental wellbeing and social health of the teens.…”

“…In an Indian context most studies on effect of yogic interventions on teenagers are on cognitive benefits of yoga rather than mental health and social behavior. India is the youngest country in the world and has a robust education system with 74.4% literacy (Chadda, 2018). Indian education system is one of the largest in the world and has a high academic rigor (Plecher, 2020).…”

Background: Mental health problems are increasing at an alarming rate throughout the world, and teenagers are no exception. They experience high levels of stress in their formative years which often leads to poor social behavior. In the present study, we examine the effect of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY), a yogic breathing technique on perceived stress and social behavior of school going teenagers. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted. Teenagers who practiced SKY daily constituted the study group and teenagers who did not practice any form of yoga or meditation formed the control group. Child Perceived Stress scale (C-PSS) and Strength and Difficulty questionnaire (SDQ) were used to evaluate the mental health and social behavior of both groups. Results: Lower stress scores were observed among students who practiced SKY compared to their peers. A significant difference was observed between the groups with respect to emotional problems, conduct problems, peer problems, and pro-social behavior. Gender wise comparison highlighted that the females from the SKY group scored lower on emotional problems sub-scale compared to their counterparts from control group. Results also highlighted an improved peer to peer interaction among both boys and girls in the SKY group. Conclusion: The results indicate the practice of SKY is associated with reduced stress, improved self-awareness, and social behavior.

“…A recent study in the 15-24 years age group in the state of Himachal Pradesh revealed that adolescents suffered from a wide range of mental health conditions like depression (6.9%), anxiety (15.5%), tobacco use (7.6%), alcohol use (7.2%), and suicidal ideation (5.5%), requiring urgent interventions (6).While this is valuable epidemiological data and provides insight into the demographic group, ultimately a bridge has to be built to address specific individual sites and institutions where these issues have to be comprehended and negotiated. This sentiment has also been reflected in recent case studies and policy reviews (7)(8). Chadda suitably notes that any strategy aimed at improving the mental health of the youth needs to target the areas of service gaps, and educational institutes are the primary sites of such required change (7).…”

Poised to have the highest number of young people in the world, India will have the onus of providing adequate mental health resources to a demographic considered among the most vulnerable with regard to mental well-being. While the Mental Healthcare Act 2017 pushed for greater accountability and care in supporting individuals with mental illness, these directions were specific to services provided by the state and did not address the care required in non-hospital settings. Since many manifestations and repercussions of mental health issues in young people occur in educational institutions, it becomes vital to address ways in which we can formulate ethical mental health services at those sites. This article is a reflective case study of the ethical dilemmas and challenges around issues of confidentiality and quality of care in relation to demand, contributing to a larger mental health ecology involved in providing mental health resources at the Student Support Centre, Manipal, that caters exclusively to students in an Indian campus town.

“…The mental health of young people is a growing public health issue (Patel et al, 2007 ). It is essential for youth to have the best mental health in order for them to achieve optimal functioning (Chadda, 2018 ). Approximately 10–20% of children and adolescents are affected by mental health problems worldwide (Kieling et al, 2011 ).…”

The Late Positive Potential as a Reliable Neural Marker of Cognitive Reappraisal in Children and Youth: A Brief Review of the Research Literature

The mental health of young people is a growing public health concern. With socio-emotional difficulties in youth often resulting in psychiatric disorders later in life and most with mental health conditions rather stabilizing in time, it is essential to support healthy socio-emotional development. With a comprehensive definition of mental health, since emotion regulation (ER) plays a critical role in prevention, it becomes imperative to better understand how children effectively manage their emotions from an early age. Determining effective use of ER skills relies on adequate measurements. Typical methods of data collection in children present consistent shortcomings. This review addresses research findings considering the suitability of the late positive potential measured through electroencephalogram as a neural indicator of ER in children and youth. There is growing evidence, as reported in this review, that indicates that the late positive potential may be a reliable neural indicator of children's cognitive reappraisal abilities more specifically. Results generally suggest that the late positive potential amplitudes are sensitive to directed reappraisal in children. However, given the scant research, questions remain regarding developmental trends, methodology, interindividual variability, reappraisal of various stimuli, and how the late positive potential may relate to more traditional measures of ER. Directions for future research are provided, which are expected to address unanswered research questions and fill literature gaps. Taken together, the findings reviewed indicate that the late positive potential is generally sensitive to directed cognitive reappraisal in children and that there is promise of establishing this neural marker as an indicator of ER.
