Case Discussion:
Ayurveda has a very different approach to depression, stemming from a radically different understanding of mind. In Western medicine, the understanding of mind is frequently limited to the function of the biochemical processes of the brain, an organ that’s in itself little known. Although consciousness, thought, emotion, and feeling are all recognized as universal realities of the human experience, Western medicine lacks a practical cohesive framework for working with these characteristics of the human being.
Ayurveda has a lot to offer in this regard. By providing a complex theory of the human being and of health, in addition to a holistic methodology of healing and changing consciousness, Ayurvedic psychology provides many approaches to the understanding and treatment of depression.
Classical Ayurveda has the goal ofrelieving all suffering and disease, including that related to chitta, including mental, psychological and emotional suffering. Ultimately the secret to health on all levels is remembering one’s true nature as spirit. When one remembers this truth and abides in this understanding, one chooses actions that are congruent with wellness and wholeness. Rather than identifying with the chitta, the personal consciousness, as itself, one recognizes one’s broader identity (or lack thereof) as a drop of water from the ocean of consciousness, a part of the larger whole and not differentiated from it.
