What Is Maladaptive Daydreaming and How Can Ayurveda Help in Managing Excessive Daydreaming and Improving Mental Focus? - #16197

I’ve noticed that I spend a lot of time daydreaming, often losing track of time and struggling to focus on tasks at hand. After reading about maladaptive daydreaming, I want to understand more about this condition and whether Ayurveda offers any strategies for managing it and improving mental focus. From what I understand, maladaptive daydreaming is a psychological condition in which an individual engages in vivid and immersive daydreams to the extent that it interferes with daily activities. But what I do not fully understand is why some people become excessively preoccupied with daydreaming. Can emotional stress, boredom, or unresolved issues contribute to maladaptive daydreaming? I have read that Ayurveda focuses on mental health and balance through maintaining a calm and focused mind. Are there Ayurvedic practices, such as meditation, Pranayama, or herbs like Brahmi and Ashwagandha, that can help in improving focus and reducing excessive daydreaming? Does Ayurveda recommend specific lifestyle modifications or daily routines that can help in managing mental distractions and improving productivity? Another thing I am wondering about is whether diet plays a role in managing maladaptive daydreaming. Should I focus on consuming foods that improve brain function, such as omega-3-rich foods, antioxidants, and healthy fats, to support mental clarity and concentration? If anyone has successfully managed maladaptive daydreaming or has used Ayurvedic methods to improve mental focus, I would love to hear what worked for them.
