Ayurvedic psychiatry today consists of Ayurvediya Manas Roga Vigyana, which deals with psychological conditions such as Bhootonmada, Grahavesha, and others, where the sickness and its treatment are based on metaphysical factors such as Karma, Graha, and Bhoota instead of classical Ayurvedic principles. Anxiety is an uncomfortable emotional state linked to fear or danger. The current modern lifestyle and eating patterns, excessive pressure to achieve goals in a brief span of time, and unhealthy social life have made man restless and provoked various degrees of anxiety condition.
