<big>'''Abstract</big>'''
<div style="text-align:justify;">
The tenth chapter deals with specific features of types of ''apasmara'' and its management. In continuation with the earlier explanation about causative factors, patho-physiology and clinical features have been described in [[Apasmara Nidana]], with another definition provided here in this chapter in greater detail.
Specific features of dominance of ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha doshas'' are explained and involvement of exogenous factors is mentioned. Management of ''apasmara'' depending on the predominance of ''doshas'', influence of ''agantu'' (exogenous) factors are explained. Special preparations like ''panchagavya ghrita, mahapanchagavya ghrita, jeevaneeya ghrita,'' various preparations for nasal administrations etc are given.
Etiological factors, pathogenesis, features and management of an important disease called ''atattvabhinivesha'' (a disease of perversion of intellect) are narrated. Importance of ''rasayana'' (rejuvenation) and protection of patient of ''unmada'' and ''apasmara'' are also emphasized.
'''Keywords''': ''Apasmara'', memory, consciousness, epilepsy, ''atattvabhinivesha, unmada'', seizure disorders. </div>

All psychiatric and psycho-somatic diseases find their roots in the two chapters of ''unmada'' and ''apasmara''. These diseases are caused by similar etiological factors and both manifest as ''manasika vikara'' (psychiatric diseases). Therefore these two chapters are placed in succession. ''Mana'' (mind), ''buddhi'' (intellect), and ''smriti'' (memory) are integral parts combined with ''atma'' (self) in understanding Ayurvedic psychiatry. The series of pathological events that take place to occlude consciousness in heart and loss of memory is distinctive feature of ''apasmara''. As mentioned earlier in [[Apasmara Nidana]], first the aggravation of ''doshas'' at somatic level occurs by improper and impure/foul food and excess affliction of negative emotions like worries, passion, fright, anger, grief etc at psychic level. The disease precipitates in the form of paroxysmal attack, then the negative psychological emotions occlude the consciousness at heart and thereafter leading to loss of memory.
