Paternal Postnatal Depression and its Risk factors: A systematic review of cross-sectional studies
Abstract:-
Background and Aim: Postnatal depression (PND) can affect both genders, but the common misconception is that it only affects mothers. Increasing literature reports that 10% of the fathers experience PND after childbirth. This systematic review aims to ascertain the prevalence of PND in fathers and its risk factors.
Materials and Methods: The electronic databases PubMed, BASE, DOAJ, Research Gate Semantic Scholar, and BioMed Central were searched for related open access articles published between 2010 to December 2021. Finally, 12 articles met inclusion criteria.
Results: The findings reported that the prevalence of PND in fathers ranged from 5.7% to 59.8%. Partner’s depression, lack of social support, poor marital relationship, low income, and low education were all shown to raise the risk of PND in fathers.
Conclusion: PND in fathers is a serious concern. Early identification and treatment decrease the detrimental impact on mother and child while further improving quality of life.

INFLUENCES OF YOGA ON PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS AND WELL-BEING IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Abstract:-
Ashtanga is a classic style of yoga that focuses on controlling breathing and intense activity to create a contemplative state via physical practice. InIn this study, we looked into Ashtanga yoga's efficacy as a psychological well-being intervention. During a 9-week period, 18 Ashtanga yoga courses were provided to nonclinical volunteers twice a week. Prior to the start of classes, after the tenth lesson, and after the last class, the volunteers completed measures of depression, anxiety, affect, self-esteem, and interpersonal functioning. Thirteen of the forty-four participants who made at least one class attendance completed all three measurement points, averaging eleven classes (range = 5–18). The effects of yoga on university students' psychological discomfort and well-being are investigated in this study. This study explores the possible advantages of introducing yoga into students' lives because the pressures of academic life might lead to elevated stress levels and emotional difficulties. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative information from interviews and self-reporting with quantitative measurements including psychological distress ratings and well-being assessments. Through an analysis of the effects of consistent yoga practice on emotional stability, stress reduction, and general mental health, this study intends to provide important new understandings regarding the potential application of yoga as a comprehensive intervention for psychological health promotion in the context of higher education.
