When addressing complex conditions like schizophrenia, anxiety, and other mental health concerns you mentioned, it’s crucial to take a comprehensive approach, combining both immediate professional medical care and supportive therapies like Ayurveda where applicable. For conditions like schizophrenia, an urgent consultation with a psychiatrist or psychologist is essential to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment, as this can significantly impact health.
In the realm of Ayurveda, mental health is often understood in the context of sattva (mental balance), rajas (activity, restlessness) and tamas (inertia, ignorance). Imbalances in these can lead to issues like anxiety and depression. Importantly, managing the doshas, especially Vata, is critical, as Vata imbalance can lead to instability in thoughts and emotions.
Diet plays an important role. Opt for warm, grounding foods to stabilize Vata, such as cooked vegetables, whole grains like rice and quinoa, and healthy fats like ghee. Try to avoid cold, raw foods which can exacerbate Vata imbalance. Spices like turmeric, cumin and ginger can help digestion — they calm the mind too. Adding sesame oil massages into your daily or weekly routine can be quite grounding.
For sleep, create a calming routine before bed. A warm bath or foot massage with sesame oil can promote relaxation. Herbs like Ashwagandha are known for their adaptogenic properties, helping the body resist stress, this can aid anxiety, and promote relaxation. Brahmi has known benefits to enhance cognitive function and improve sleep, taken as recommended by a practitioner.
To manage intense emotions like anger and aggression, practices like Pranayama (breathing exercises) are helpful. Anulom Vilom and alternate nostril breathing calm the nervous system, reduce stress and promote a state of mental balance. Ensuring regular physical activity is also essential. Yoga practices, especially those focused on grounding and calming poses (e.g., forward bends, seated poses) can help stabilize the mind.
Practicing mindfulness meditation can assist in becoming more aware of the present moment, reducing racing thoughts. Observing a restful routine while connecting to nature can provide mental tranquility.
It’s essential to work closely with a healthcare provider to align any Ayurvedic interventions with medical treatment, ensuring safety and appropriateness. While Ayurveda can provide supportive care, it’s vital to complement with conventional medical treatment wherever it’s necessary to ensure mental health is managed comprehensively and safely.

HELLO VISHWA,
The mind in Ayurveda works best when there is balance among -sattva= purity, peace, clarity -rajas= energy, drive - tamas= rest, stability When these go out of balance- especially when Rajas and Tamas increase and sattva decreases, symptoms like anxiety, fear, anger, depression, sleeplessness, hallucinations or obsessive behaviour appear
IN YOUR CASE -racing thought, anxiety, sleepessness-> vata and rajas aggravation -aggression, irritability-> pitta and rajas aggravate -depression, dullness, hallucination -> tamas aggravation so the root cause is disturbance of vata (mind movement), pitta (heat), and rajas- tamas (mental imbalance)
