What is the best solution for obsessive-compulsive disorder?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Actually, I am suffering from the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. But it is not that I am not having this disease. I am only having these symptoms. The peak symptoms are depression most of the time, constant headache, constant heavy head, irregular heartbeat, significantly less brain power (mostly concentration, focus), increased urination, unwanted repeating thoughts, going deep into thoughts unwantedly, panic attacks due to side effect of allopathic medicine sometimes but life-threatening, confusions. I have been suffering from these symptoms for the last two years. Still, the intensity of these symptoms is so high that I am not able to do any work in life, like studying or a job. Still, I can do the work that requires five percent concentration from 100 percent, which means less brain-usable work like playing mobile games, ludo, sleeping, walking, typing just like now, etc. I want Ayurveda treatment because now I cannot trust allopathic medicines anymore because allopathic medicines show me huge side effects like paralysis type thing on the right side of the body, panic attacks (life-threatening), stomach bloating, etc. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your complaints carefully and understand your concern.

According to Ayurveda, all your complaints fall under Manas Roga. This condition mostly occurs due to severe stress and depression. The patient is unable to concentrate his mind, always in restlessness but unable to do his routine work. It can be managed naturally through ayurvedic medicines and procedures like Shirodhara, as well as yoga practices. Apart from medications, it is very necessary to know the causes of this condition and try to resolve the issues. It is better to discuss all issues with your Ayurveda consultant. It helps to understand your concern, diagnosis, and best management plan. Now, in response to your present complaints, you can take the following medicines and do yoga.

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.

Treatment plan

The treatment plan is 1. Brahmi ghrita (Brahmi, Vacha, Kushta, Shankhapushpi) one spoon twice a day before meals. 2. Manasamitra Vati (Bala, Nagbala, Bilwa) one tablet twice a day with normal water after meals. 3. Jatamansi Churna (Jatamansi root powder) tablet once twice a day after meals. 4. Saraswataristam and Ashwagandharistam, two teaspoons each twice a day with an equal amount of water after meals.

Preventive measures

For preventive measures, I suggest the following 1. Avoid spicy and fried junk foods. 2.Avoid smoking and drinking if you have these habits. 3.Eat fibrous foods and fruit as well as green leafy vegetables. 4.Do regular Suryanamaskar, Kapalbhati, Mandukasana, Vajrasana, Anuloma vilom, Nadi sodhan and Bhramari. 5.Meditation is also very helpful in such conditions. Do these things regularly for one month and provide your valuable feedback.
