Su.15/41 Any negative effect on Shareera has an effect on Manas. One of the three fundamental foundations of life, along with the body and consciousness, is manas. Ayurveda places a high value on mental well-being. The main issue at hand is vishada, or depression. Acharya Sushruta refers to it as manasika vyadhi, whereas Acharya Charaka says it is one of the Vataja nanatmaja vyadhi.

Keywords: Ayurveda, vishada, agni, vyadhi, manasika, shareera.
