Hi. I am suffering from anxiety. My prakriti is pitta and vikruti is vata. I started to practice Ayurveda since 2024. I quit taking the antidepressants ever since then. Practicing meditation was helping me going through most hard time. And then recently I started to experience more anxiety. Do you have any suggestions what to do?

How long have you been experiencing increased anxiety?:

- More than 6 months

What triggers your anxiety the most?:

- No specific triggers

How is your sleep quality?:

- Poor, constant problems
