=== Introduction ===
=== Introduction ===
The unmada covers a wide range of major mental disorders and is considered synonymous with madness and mental derangement, in which a person loses his/her contact from reality and loses the ability to regulate his/her actions & conduct according to norms of the society. In unmada there is upward movement of doshas leading to disturbance in the functions of manas causing mada ( delusional/ intoxicated state ) in an individual. The factual clinical picture of the mental status of psychotic patients is vividly described. This description suggests that a patient of unmada develops derangement of all the activities of manas (mind), buddhi(intellect), ahamkara (conceit of self-individuality) and indriyas (senses). He develops thought disturbances in the form of abnormalities of chintana (thinking), vichara(discrimination) and uhya (analysis), derangement of memory in the form of smriti nasha (loss of memory) and smriti bramsha (impairement of memory), behavioral, social and emotional disturbances in the form of abnormalities of achar (behaviour), dharma (eternal duties) and bhavas (mental factors) along with functional derangement of indriyas which is manifested clinically as disturbed speech and its various presentations like incoherence (abaddha vakyam), thought blocking (hridaya shunyata ), loosening of associations, neologism, echolalia etc. and various psychomotor disturbances .

Thus, unmada is not a lone clinical entity comparable to a single modern diagnostic category, rather it is a syndrome describing a group of psychotic disorders. It is a common and broader entity, which provides guidance to the line of management for almost all psychiatric disorders in Ayurveda. In this ailment, the intellect, mind and memory get perverted. Unmada can be described as the disordered state of mind, in which an individual loses the ability of regulating his/her actions and conduct according to the rules of society. As the psychotic disorders cover almost all the major mental illnesses, the different types & sub types of unmada can be separately correlated with different psychotic disorders. The clinical features of the different types of unmada resemble various types of schizophrenia, manic psychosis, psychotic depression / major depressive disorder. Unmada is divided into two broad categories – (1) Nija- those caused by internal imbalance of body humors i.e. vata, pitta, kapha & the sannipataj and the (2) Agantunimitta- those caused by exogenous factors.

The medicated ghrita, the most preferred dosage form for the management, enhances intellect, memory and plays an important role in the treatment of unmada. Hence many ghrita formulations have been described for the management. Anjana & nasya are other treatment modalities indicated in unmada. Acharya Vagbhata emphasises their importance by saying that if all medications for unmada like vamana, virechana etc. fail, one should do teekshna anjana & nasya karma.

Pathogenesis of unmada:
Food with incompatible, contaminated & unclean properties; possession by spirits like gods, teachers and brahmanas; mental trauma due to recurrent exposure to fear or exhilaration and adopting difficult posture are the general causes of unmada. (4)

By the above causative factors, the doshas get vitiated in the person posessing low level of sattva guna (weak minded people) in turn vitiate hridaya (mind), which is the seat of intellect. There from the channels carrying mental factors (mano- vaha srotasas), quickly delude the mind of the person. (5)

Thus, the person with deranged mind does not know pleasures, pain, ethics and eternal duties and does not get peace anywhere. Therefore, he lets the mind wander here and there due to loss of memory, intellect and perceptions. (6-7)

Vayu gets aggravated by the intake of rough, deficient in quantity and cold in property food, excessive evacuation of doshas, depletion of body tissues and fasting. This aggravated vayu affects the hrudaya (site of mind), which is already afflicted with anxiety etc. and thus quickly deranges intellect and memory.
Pitta dominant unmada:
Laughing, smiling, dancing, singing, speaking, abnormal movement of body parts, weeping at improper places & improper time, roughness, emaciation, reddish discolouration of body parts and aggravation of the disease after digestion of food; are the clinical features of the vata dominant unmada .(9-10)

The already accumulated pitta gets aggravated due to indigestion, by the intake of pungent, sour food, those articles causing burning sensation, and hot in potency. It takes shelter in the hrudaya (site of mind) in the person without self restraint and thus suddenly gives rise to severe episode of unmada as per the above mentioned pathogenesis.

Kapha dominant unmada:
Intolerance, agitation, nakedness, terrorizing, excessive movements, (running), heat, wrath (anger), yellowish luster and desire for dense shady places, cold food - are the clinical features of pitta dominant unmada. (11-12)

In the persons taking excessive food and doing slow activities (having sedentary habits), kapha along with heat (pitta) increases in their vital organ (hrudaya), impairing intellect and memory and thereby deranging their mind produces insanity.

If the insanity is caused by kapha and pitta, emesis and purgation should be given after unction and sudation. Post- evacuation dietetic regimen should be prescribed (gradually from lighter to heaviour diet as per prescribed procedure). Thereafter non-unctuous (niruha) and unctuous (anuvasana) enema and nasal errhines (shiro-virechana) should be administrated. Depending upon the predominance of doshas, one or the other of the above measures should be repeatedly applied.
By the administration of these therapeutic measures, heart, sense organs, head and bowels (koshtha) get cleansed as a result of which the mind gets refreshed and the patient regains memory as well as consciousness.
Even after the completion of above cleansing procedure, if the abnormal behaviour persists, the application of irritant snuffing, collyrium and beating should be done, which are useful for stimulating his mind, intellect and body.

==== Therpeutic utility of old ghee ====

It promotes intellect and is an excellent purgative.
Ghee kept beyond ten years is called as ‘pra-puran’ (extremely old). There is no disease, which is incurable for the ghee which is old by one hundred years. It destroys all the grahas by seeing, touching, inhaling and is particularly recommended for those suffering from epilepsy (apasmara), grahas (demonic seizures) and unmada . (59-62)
