Mental Disorders Treatment in Ayurveda

About Mental Disorders

Mental disorders include stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood disturbances, poor concentration, and emotional imbalance. These conditions are increasingly common due to fast-paced lifestyle, work pressure, lack of sleep, and emotional strain.

Symptoms may include restlessness, irritability, disturbed sleep, lack of motivation, fatigue, and difficulty focusing.

Mental Disorders in Ayurveda

According to Ayurveda, mental disorders are primarily caused by imbalance of Vata Dosha and disturbance of Manas (mind) due to stress and improper lifestyle habits.

Vata aggravation affects the nervous system leading to anxiety, insomnia, and emotional instability. Management focuses on calming the nervous system, nourishing the brain tissues, and restoring mental balance through holistic therapies.
