ABSTRACT

Three primary factors contribute to the onset of disease according to Ayurveda: Asatmaindriyartha Samyoga (improper use or non-use of sensory faculties), Prajnaparadha (intellectual errors), and Parinama (time). Balanced doshas in the mind regulate emotions, whereas imbalanced doshas play a crucial role in the development of mental disorders. Today's heightened levels of stress significantly contribute to the rise in Manovikara (mental disorders). Ayurvedic texts extensively discuss the mind (Manas) and various treatments for mental disorders, offering accessible insights and enriching treatment methodologies. Integrating these ancient principles into modern healthcare can provide valuable perspectives and effective strategies for managing mental health challenges in contemporary society. This article delves into "Insights into Manovikara: Ayurvedic Perspectives and Approaches," exploring Ayurveda's viewpoint on mental disorders. It comprehensively examines the concept of Manovikara, encompassing various psychological disturbances described in ancient Ayurvedic texts. The discussion highlights Ayurvedic perspectives on the mind (Manas), detailing its qualities, functions, etiological factors, symptoms, classifications as elucidated in Manas Roga Vigyan. By integrating traditional wisdom with contemporary insights, this review aims to elucidate Ayurveda's potential in promoting mental well-being and restoring harmony. It posits that understanding and applying Ayurvedic principles can provide valuable perspectives for addressing modern mental health challenges effectively.
