    It's been a while since I've done yoga as I've been having a lot of health issues with dizziness but I did beginners yoga for several years at several different intervals and I found that as it helped me physically, it also helped me mentally. If I recall, I think I really started noticing the change around a month; maybe 4-5 weeks.

    Yes......Sure !!

    Yoga is always a great option for depression & its good for health too. It helps to heal life & make you feel fresh everyday.

    Specially as you say, you are depressed, then you should try Yoga & possibly meditation as well. It helps you to concentrate through whole day.
