Mental Disorders

In the presence of depressive symptoms, the improvement of sleep disturbances was most striking. The improvement rate for difficulty falling asleep was 91%. For sleep disruptions and early awakening, the improvement rates were 98% and 100%, respectively. The symptoms of "slow thinking, lack of activity, anxiety, and general somatic disorders" were positively changed by 80% compared to the state before WBC. The 80% improved condition in the case of depression and suicidal tendencies was sufficiently significant. In affective depressive disorder, a strong improvement/significant reduction of symptoms (gastrointestinal and genitourinary symptoms; digestive and sexual symptoms, hypochondria, body weight, and criticism) could be achieved. General condition, physical condition, domestic/occupational activity, and life satisfaction were improved. In depressive-anxious symptomatology, a 50% reduction in symptoms by could be achieved.

The results lead to the conclusion that in the above-mentioned disorders, WBC can be considered as a complementary therapy option.
