HELLO,
Your daughter is experiencing bipolar type mood swings, which means her mind shifts between -feeling low, crying easily, losing motivation and -feeling irritated , agitated, or shouting suddenly
In Ayurveda, this does not mean she is “weak”. It means that some mind regulating energies are disturbed mainly
1)PRANA VATA = controls thoughts, emotions, sleep -when disturbed-> anxiety, crying, confusion, fear -very sensitive to stress and irregular routines
2) PITTA -controls anger, confidence, judgment -when disturbed-> anger, irritability, restlessness shouting
3) RAJAS AND TAMAS (mental Gunas) -RAJAS= overthinknig, agitation -TAMAS= heaviness, sadness, low motivation Bipolar symptoms occur when vata + pitta + rajas go out of balance due to stress, family problems, irregular food habits, sleep disturbances, and emotional pressure
TREATMENT GOALS -calm the mind and nerves -cool and stabilize emotions -strengthen the brain and memory pathways -improve sleep quality - reduce stress hormones -build mental stability instead of sharp ups and downs -improve digestio because mind and gut are connected -provide physical relaxation so the mind becomes steady

Hii dear… First, I want to tell you something gently and clearly — none of this is your fault. You’re not “too emotional,” you’re not “acting out,” and you’re not “difficult.” You’re a 17-year-old girl dealing with heavy emotions, family stress, studies, and a mind that swings between high energy and deep sadness. Anyone in your situation would feel overwhelmed.
The crying suddenly… the shouting episodes… the moments when you feel too much and then nothing at all — these are not signs of weakness. They are signs that your mind has been under prolonged emotional strain.
Family issues, academic pressure, hormones, and an already sensitive mind can all amplify bipolar symptoms. But the most important thing is — you are already getting treatment, which means you’re healing.
Bipolar disorder does not define you. It does not make you less capable or less lovable. You are brave for speaking about it. And I’m right here with you — step by step.
🌿 Ayurvedic Supportive Medicines; 1. Brahmi Ghrita – 1 tsp at night with warm water – deeply calms the nervous system, reduces overthinking 2. Saraswatarishta – 10–15 ml with equal water after meals – improves emotional stability, reduces irritability 3. Ashwagandha Tablets / Churna – 500 mg twice daily – lowers stress hormones, reduces mood swings 4. Jatamansi Capsules – 1 capsule twice daily after food – helps control anger, crying spells, anxiety 5. Shankhpushpi Syrup – 1 tsp twice daily – improves concentration & reduces mental agitation
(If she is already on psychiatric medication, these herbs are safe but still inform her treating doctor.)
🌱 Lifestyle Changes (Most Important for Stabilising Mood) Her brain needs routine, calm, grounding and connection. ⭐ 1. Reset Sleep Cycle (very important in bipolar) Sleep before 11 PM Fixed wake-up time No phone 1 hour before bed Warm bath + dim lights at night Light reading or calming music before sleep ⭐ 2. Gentle Phone Detox Screens overstimulate the brain and make mood swings worse. Small steps: No phone while eating No phone in bed 1-hour screen-free morning and night Replace scrolling with music, journaling, colouring, or sitting outside ⭐ 3. Emotional Grounding Practices To prevent sudden crying or shouting: One hand on heart, one on stomach Inhale 4 sec → hold 2 sec → exhale 6 sec Do 5 minutes twice daily It calms emotional storms quickly. ⭐ 4. Movement Everyday (20–30 mins) Not for weight — for mood: Walking Yoga Stretching Slow Sun Salutations (5 rounds) ⭐ 5. Social Connection (gently, not forcefully) Sit with family for 10–15 mins Talk to one friend a few minutes daily Spend 5 mins in sunlight daily This reduces emotional instability.
❌ Don’ts Don’t skip her psychiatric medicines Don’t force her to “control” mood swings — she can’t Don’t shout at her or compare her to others Don’t let her isolate in her room all day No caffeine after 5 PM No late-night scrolling Avoid afternoon sleep
✔️ Do’s Warm, fresh home-cooked meals Fixed routine (wake, study, meals, sleep) 2–3 glasses warm water every morning Sunlight exposure 10–20 mins Herbal teas: Brahmi, chamomile, tulsi Journaling before sleep Keep communication soft, simple, kind
🌼 You Are Not Alone, You Are Healing Dear one, please remember — You are not “crazy.” You are not “broken.” Your brain is just going through chemical and emotional fluctuations, and it can stabilise with the right care.
Many teenagers with bipolar disorder grow up to live happy, healthy, successful lives with treatment + routine + support.
You are strong. You are healing. And you are never alone in this journey. I’m right here with you, and things will get better — one small step at a time.
Warm regards, Dr. Sumi MS (Ayu)

Bipolar disorder involves fluctuations in mood, energy, and activity levels. In Ayurveda, such an imbalance could be linked to Vata dosha, which governs movement and mental energy. Here are some Ayurveda-based recommendations to help support mood stability, focusing on balancing Vata.
First, dietary practices can play a significant role. Encourage her to consume warm, cooked, and nourishing foods. Soups, stews, and porridges with grounding spices like cumin, coriander, and ginger can help stabilize Vata. She should avoid raw, cold foods, and stimulants like caffeine, which can exacerbate Vata imbalance. Meals should be regular, ideally three times a day at set intervals, to encourage consistency and balance.
Next, lifestyle changes are essential. Encourage consistent daily routines, especially a regular sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day helps maintain a balanced circadian rhythm. Incorporate calming practices such as daily meditation or pranayama (breathing exercises). These can help soothe the mind and are particularly beneficial when done in the morning.
Physical activity is also important. Gentle exercises like yoga or walking are recommended. High-intensity workouts might increase Vata, so they should be limited.
Herbs such as ashwagandha or brahmi can support mental clarity and calmness. However, it’s important to consult an Ayurveda practitioner for personalized guidance before adding herbs to her routine, considering her specific condition and any other medications she might be taking.
In a college environment, stress levels can be high, which might trigger mood changes. Stress management, through techniques like mindfulness or guided meditation, can be beneficial. It’s crucial to create a supportive environment and encourage her to seek professional help. Bipolar disorder might sometimes require medical intervention, so regular follow-ups with healthcare professionals are advised for monitoring and managing her condition effectively.
