Results of a Recent Major Study Published in The Lancet Psychiatry
Results of a recent major study published in The Lancet Psychiatry (Vol. 5, Issue 12, p. 975-986) showed the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique to be highly effective in the treatment of post- traumatic stress, depression, and total mood disturbance, resulting in a greatly improved overall
quality of life. The simplicity and self-sufficiency of TM technique fits well in the military lifestyle.
“Consistent with military culture, the TM technique is self-empowering, completely transportable, and inconspicuous.”
—Vernon Barnes, PhD, Augusta University, in his editorial comment on the study.
How the TM Technique Can Help:
“This additional evidence-based PTSD therapy will benefit patients both by offering them a greater range of first-line treatment options and by serving as an alternative treatment strategy for those not responding to exposure-based PTSD therapy.”
— Dr. Sanford Nidich, Professor of Physiology and Health, Professor of Education, and Director of the Center for Social-Emotional Health at Maharishi University of Management Research Institute
