WINNING OVER DEPRESSION

Ayurveda mentions Depression as Vishada. This is also described as “most disease aggravating factor”. Although this disease is categorized under psychological diseases, it can also affect the body; hence it can lead to any physical or psychological disorder.

From Ayurvedic perspective, the main causes of depression can be defined as - imbalance in Kapha and Vata Doshas along with aggravation of Tamas and lack of Sattva quality of mind.

The authors, Prof. Dr. Subhash Ranade & Prof. Norbert Lotz, are two well-known specialists in the field of two theory- and practice-proven systems and methods- the Ayurvedic Medicine and the Cognitive Behavior Therapy. They know each other since twenty years and now put their knowledge and experience together to write the first e-book about treating depression by a combination of Ayurveda and Behavior Therapy. The E- book is a scientifically based, rather compact and highly readable compilation of backgrounds, approaches and case studies.
