Schizophrenia

Overview

Common groups of symptoms include changes in perception (hearing/seeing things others do not), unusual beliefs, disorganized speech/behavior, and reduced motivation or social withdrawal. A psychiatrist can confirm diagnosis and provide evidence‑based treatment plans (medications and therapies).

Ayurvedic Perspective (Supportive)

Classical texts discuss mental well‑being under concepts such as Manovaha Srotas (channels of the mind) and balance of the three Gunas (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas). Supportive care emphasises routine, dietary moderation, and practices that cultivate calmness and clarity along with medical care.

• Gentle daily routines: regular sleep/wake times, mindful meals, light movement (as advised).
• Foods that are simple, warm, and easy to digest; limit stimulants and highly processed items.
• Practices like guided breathing and relaxation under professional guidance.

Ayurvedic measures are complementary. Antipsychotic/therapy decisions must be guided by a psychiatrist/clinical psychologist.

Self‑care & Family Support

• Keep a medication and appointment calendar; do not stop medicines without medical advice.
• Reduce stressors and keep communication simple and supportive at home.
• Maintain routine: consistent sleep, sunlight exposure, and balanced meals.
• Families: learn early signs of relapse (sleep changes, withdrawal, rising suspiciousness) and seek timely review.

Some Home Remedies (Comfort)

• Warm water sips, light easily digestible food patterns, and gentle daily walks may support overall well‑being.
• Consider calming routines (breathwork, meditation) if recommended by your clinician.

Avoid self‑medicating with herbs or supplements without discussing with your treating team due to possible interactions.
