Ayurveda and Yoga Approaches for Managing Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Short Temperament in a School-Going
Abstract:
This case study evaluated Ayurvedic and yoga treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in a 14-year-old female with a short temper. Symptoms were assessed using the Clinical Anger Scale and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A). Before treatment, the patient scored 31 out of 48 on the HAM-A and 31 out of 63 on the Clinical Anger Scale. After 30 days, the patient's scores improved to 8 out of 48 on the HAM-A and 10 out of 63 on the Clinical Anger Scale. Cortisol levels decreased from 25.1 µg/dl to 15.8 µg/dl. Ayurvedic oral medicine (like Kushmanda Ghrita,Bhrami Vati), Panchakarma therapy (Nasya, Shirodhara), and yoga, showed significant improvements. This Ayurevda approach helped reducing anxiety and anger scores, highlighting integrative medicine's efficacy in improving mental health and well-being. The positive outcomes observed in this study suggest that incorporating Ayurvedic treatments and yoga into mental health care can be a valuable strategy for improving the well-being of young individuals. Further research and larger clinical trials are warranted to validate these findings and explore the broader application of integrative medicine in adolescent mental health care.
