What could cause periodic depression and anxiety?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have a lot of anxiety and periodic depression, and also I have high pitta and vata. First, I tried Shatavari, which helped, but I quit when I started experiencing breast tenderness and discomfort. Then I tried to take brahmi, but it was causing a lot of pitta and vata. Which herb should I take?

Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Kindly let me know if you are married, whether you have children, how long you have had this anxiety and depression issues, and whether you have previously undergone surgery or another type of treatment. Have you ever undergone any tests, including thyroid or other investigations?

Also, let me know whether you have regular periods. Please provide me with all of your information. I must have all of your information for appropriate treatment. I would appreciate receiving your reports.

Treatment plan: I suggest you take Saraswatarishta (Brahmi, Vidarikand, Shatavari, Ginger) two teaspoons after a meal, Avipattikar churna (Amla, Bibhitaki, Haritaki) empty stomach, and drink aloe vera juice in the morning.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Thank you.
