AYURVEDIC POINT OF VIEW
As per Ayurveda Mental illness comes in the category of Manovikara. Our Manas (mind) is the composition of three gunas or manodoshas - Satva, Rajas and Tamas. Satva guna represents the self-control, knowledge, power to decide factual and incorrect in life. Rajas guna is responsible for violent, envious, to be in motion, convincing, wishing for and confused. Whereas characteristics of Tamas are being inactive, lazy, sleepy dull, or drowsy. The vitiation of Satva, Rajas and Tamas gunas is responsible for mental illness.
