Bipolar disorder - #18879
Prasad Godbole
I am being diagnosed with bipolar and as per the psychiatrist and the therapist they do not know the root cause. Tried medications and therapies along with many healing modalities but no help. Too much mind chatting, confused fear, anxiety suicidal thoughts to name a few. Tea can be the cause for this because i feel the brain is compelling to think etc. tea is something i have been consuming since the age of 14. Please share some light. Thank you.
Age: 45
Chronic illnesses: Not sure

Hello Mr Prasad,
Do your symptoms worsen at a specific time of day or after consuming tea? Have you noticed changes in sleep, digestion, or energy levels since then? What is your lifestyle like and sleep structure?

Prasad, tea’s caffeine may contribute to anxiety and overstimulation, but bipolar disorder is multifactorial. Reducing tea might help ease some symptoms, yet addressing bipolar requires a comprehensive treatment plan. It may be worthwhile to discuss a trial of caffeine reduction with your care team while continuing supportive therapies.

Bipolar disorder can be crazy complex and frustrating to deal with, especially when no one's figured out the exact cause. There can be lots of factors, maybe genetics, lifestyle or just brain chemistry doing its thing? First off, if you're feeling at risk of harming yourself, definitely reach out to a health professional right away. Safety first!
As for that tea question, it's a curious one. In Ayurveda, the mind and body are connected through doshas—the energies that affect physical and mental processes. Tea, especially those caffeinated types like black tea, can aggravate Vata dosha, which might be firing up your anxiety, agitation, or racing thoughts. Maybe try switching to herbal teas, something like chamomile or tulsi. They’re more calming and generally good for soothing the nervous system.
Besides modifying tea habits, balancing your Vata dosha might help with the extra mind chatter. Some suggestions: try regular routines (waking up, meals, sleeping times) since they help ground Vata energy. Plus, meditation or pranayama, like alternate nostril breathing, can be super calming for the mind. Keeping warm and cozy, avoiding cold foods, and using oils like sesame for abhyanga (self-massage) adds to that grounding effect too.
Diet-wise, think warming, cooked foods, and maybe avoid raw foods or extreme cold stuff. Healthy fats like ghee, avocados, or nuts can support the nervous system too. Remember, take baby steps and see how your body reacts - everyone’s different!
All that said, keep in touch with mental health experts, they got insights too! An integrative approach might be where it's at, blending Ayurveda and modern therapy for a holistic solution.
