May 26-29, Dr. Carole Bandy gave a poster presentation on "Rapid Reduction of PTSD in South African Students using Transcendental Meditation Practice" at the Association for Psychological Science Annual Conference in Chicago. The paper, in submission, demonstrates that the majority of students that learned Transcendental Meditation at the Maharishi Institute and meditated twice a day, became non-symptomatic during the 105 day testing period, whereas a non-TM control group of college students with PTSD at University of Johannesburg showed no improvements over the testing period.
The Journal of American Medical Association recently published a meta-analysis (August 4, 2016). This study summarized the results of published studies on the top two psychotherapy approaches and found that they only made one third of the Veterans with PTSD non-symptomatic. In contrast, this recent study on TM shows that with TM alone over 50% of the students with PTSD became non-symptomatic within a bit over 3 months. As with all studies on TM and PTSD, there was already a dramatic reduction in symptoms at 15 days.
