Obsessive compulsive disorder: Ayurvedic Treatment, Tips

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) means multiple repetition of a particular behavior. For example,
repeatedly washing hands, repeatedly checking if the door is locked, repeatedly checking if the car
is locked properly etc.

What is OCD?
Under normal circumstances, we all, once in a while wash our hands twice to make sure it is cleaned,
check if the car is locked properly etc. But we may wash or check once or twice. In Obsessive compulsive
disorder, the patient checks it, say, 10 times or washes his hands 10 times. He is obsessed with
cleaning and double-checking.

Many a time, the patient is aware that his repetitive behavior is wrong and needs correction but he or
she cannot control it. In some cases, patient denies his repetitive behavior.

OCD behaviour:
Obsessive behavior is not just limited to washing and checking. It also encompasses super-perfection
in working, super-neat and clean, like, setting the objects in the home at their positions repeatedly.
Some people with OCD do not throw waste things into dust bin. They will keep those things at home,
fearing curse, even after that thing has become redundant.

OCD in Ayurveda:
In Ayurveda, it is grossly correlated with a condition called Atatva Abhinivesha. ‘Atatwa’ means
‘non-existent’, abhinivesha means ‘stubborn’ nature or ‘strict adherence’. So Atatwabhinivesha
collectively refers as a ‘condition where the person believes in all the factors which does not exist
or which are in fact not correct’. Or everytime the individual will be in confusion to accept the truth.

DESCRIPTION OF MENTAL DISORDER

Charaka observed that rajas and tamas are two factors which affect the mind and they produce symptoms of
mental disorder. While describing pathogenesis of a mental disorder “atatvabhinivesha” (comparable to
obsessive compulsive disorder), Charaka says the mind (manas) and intellect (buddhi) get clouded with
increase of rajas and tamas. Hridaya (seat of manas) is disturbed by an imbalance of doshas (tridosha).
The man who has become stupid and weak in intelligence tends to formulate incorrect judgments concerning
true and false, good and harmful. This state of mind is referred to as pramoha (delusion).

Charaka describes eight essential psychological factors that are negatively affected in various ways in
all psychiatric disorders. They are mind (manas), cognition (buddhi), orientation and responsiveness
(samjna jnana), devotion (bhakti), habits (sheela), psychomotor activity (chesta) and conduct (achara).

Over activation of rajas (action) or tamas (inertia) causes the mind to lose balance which in turn affects
tridosha (vata, pitta, kapha). When this balance is totally lost, the result is a mental disorder, or if
it tilts in any one direction conditions such as anger, anxiety, and nervousness occur, which are normal
emotions but exhibited in an intensive manner. The doshas as they accumulate as toxins have negative
emotional components like vata expressed as fear, pitta as anger and kapha as attachment. Vata dosha in
particular has strong psychological implications because the mind is part of the field of vata.
