Can Ayurveda Help in Managing Schizophrenia Symptoms Naturally? - #14851
My cousin was diagnosed with schizophrenia last year, and it's been really difficult for the whole family. At first, we thought he was just stressed or going through anxiety, but then he started talking about things that didn’t make sense. He’d say he could hear people talking about him when no one was around, and sometimes, he believed that someone was watching him even when we were all at home. Eventually, he became withdrawn, barely spoke to anyone, and would get angry over small things. The doctors prescribed antipsychotic medications, but the side effects are tough. He feels extremely tired all the time, has gained a lot of weight, and struggles to focus. It’s like the medicines help with some symptoms but take away his energy and personality. We’ve been wondering if Ayurveda has treatments that can help manage schizophrenia without causing so many side effects. I’ve read about herbs like Brahmi and Ashwagandha that support brain health, but can they actually help with schizophrenia? Are there Ayurvedic therapies that improve mental clarity and reduce hallucinations or paranoia? Also, would lifestyle changes or dietary modifications make a difference? Has anyone tried combining Ayurveda with conventional treatment for schizophrenia? What worked, and what should we be cautious about? We don’t want to stop his medications but are looking for ways to improve his overall well-being naturally.
