Schizophrenia is a devastating mental condition which affects not only the patient, but all near and dear ones who care for the affected individual. Modern medicines can help to control aggression, violence, and hallucinations and delusions to some extent, but the individual remains dependent on someone else, mostly on a life-long basis.
Simple Ayurvedic herbal and herbo-mineral medicines can be used to rehabilitate such patients. A short course of treatment of four to six months reduces symptoms, reduces the required dose of modern medicines, and also treats the negative symptoms of this disease, which include lethargy, inactivity, and dullness of mind and body. The most important advantage of treatment with Ayurvedic medicines is that affected individuals gain confidence; improved cognition and learning ability combined with increased confidence gives them the ability to take up some work suitable to their abilities, and retain employment on a long-term basis. Long-term employment not only keeps the mind and body occupied, it also gives the individuals more economic freedom and independence.
Such Ayurvedic herbal treatment for Schizophrenia is not only very cost-effective, it is also very much safe as compared to modern medicines. The average incidence of Schizophrenia in society is around 1 %. Keeping this in mind, it can be easily calculated that millions of people affected with Schizophrenia can be helped with Ayurvedic medicines to lead improved and better, more productive lives.
Ayurvedic herbal treatment of Schizophrenia thus helps schizophrenic patients to come into the mainstream of active life, and become responsible members of society.
