Anxiety disorder is a type of mental illness which can stop a person from leading a normal life. Anxiety 
is  usually a normal emotion of getting nervous about something that normal people don’t get nervous 
or  scared of. It is often an emotion of serious nervousness and fear which are constant and this can 
be  disabling. For example, the fear that sets in before a stage performance or taking an exam. We

hyper-  active body’s fear-processing system.
Sometimes they are also known as panic attacks, where you think you can’t breathe or there is less air  
around, anxiety also is caused by phobias. It is also often termed as extreme apprehension or worry to 
a  stressful situation. In today’s world Anxiety, stress and worry are a normal part of life and simply 
having  some anxiety attacks or panic attacks don’t mean you need medications or psychiatrists. 
However, you  could consult a physician if these attacks persist, but they could subside if you take 
care of your mental  health and the stress that you take. You could also control these attacks by 
conditioning your brain and  emotions in such a way that you don’t get anxious for things that scare

Types of Anxiety

repeatedly,  etc.

palpitations accompanied by fear. People suuering from this anxiety will have a severe phobia of 
certain  things.
Ayurvedic View of Anxiety
According to Ayurveda, anxiety is caused due to imbalance of Vata dosha in the human body. When 
Vata  dosha gets imbalanced, it gets accumulated in the nervous system and the person experiences  
increased anxiety in the form of insomnia, a restless mind, nervousness, panic and fearful thoughts.
The reason behind the anxiety disorder is Pragya Apradh. Pragya apradh is defined as the unhealthy  
adaptation of physical and mental things that leads to mental imbalance. The improper diet and 
lifestyle  leads to the disturbed state of mind and causes negative feelings to overwhelm the mind. 
This causes  the obstruction of Manovaha Srotas which leads to the imbalance of Vata dosha and 
hence causes the  anxiety disorder.

Ashwagandharishta  
Balarishta
