How to treat mood disorders with Ayurveda?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am having "mood disorder" and have been under treatment for around nine years. The doctor said that the medicines are to be taken lifelong and now prescribed Valporil CR-300 and LithoSun SR tablets (both 1-0-1). If I come to Ayurveda, can I stop these medicines within some time? While visiting an astrologist, he recommended I take "Manasamitra vatakam" tablets along with Saraswata Ghritam for 21 days.
My query is, can the above Ayurveda tablet be used along with the other allopathic medicines? Will there be any side effects? In what proportion is it to be used? Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As you have had this problem for a very long time, suddenly stopping the allopathic medicines may lead to a worsening of the problem. So, follow the advice of your psychiatrist. Along with allopathic medicines, you can take Ayurvedic medicine. But keep some time gap between your medicines. The ayurvedic medicines recommended to you are good, and you can take them as per your physician's advice.
Initially, take it under supervision, and if you have any problems, visit your physician. Along with medicines, try to stabilize your mood by doing meditation and breathing exercises like Pranayam and Anulom Vilom daily. Walk daily for at least 30 to 60 minutes. Adopt a new hobby like dancing or painting, etc. Learn new things. These things will help you in managing your mood.
I hope this helps.
Please revert so I can assist you further.
Thank you.
