Unmada - #5260
For the past year, my cousin has been showing signs of extreme anxiety and irrational behavior, and someone in our family mentioned the concept of unmada in Ayurveda. I’ve been reading that unmada refers to mental health imbalances or disturbances caused by dosha imbalances, but I’d like to know more about how it’s diagnosed and treated. Could unmada apply to someone with mood swings and panic attacks? My cousin also has trouble sleeping and sometimes feels disconnected from reality. Would Ayurveda approach unmada with herbs, therapies, or a combination of both? Are there specific signs that clearly indicate unmada rather than another mental health condition? Also, how does Ayurveda view the root causes of unmada? Is it just about mental and emotional factors, or do lifestyle and diet play a big role? If anyone has dealt with unmada in their family or personally, I’d appreciate learning how you managed it and if Ayurvedic treatment was helpful in bringing balance.
