<big>'''Abstract </big>'''
[[Unmada Chikitsa]] describes the management of ''unmada'' (insanity). The approach to the management of individual types of ''unmada'' have been elaborately described. The uniqueness of the chapter lies in the broad description of all three forms of therapies described in Ayurvedic System i.e. ''yukti-vyapashraya'' (rational treatment) to ''daiva- vyapashraya'' ( spiritual therapy) and ''sattvavajaya chikitsa'' (psychotherapy) for the management. Apart from these three types, the fourth type of therapy, called ''upayabhipluta'' (consolation, mental support) ''chikitsa'', which incorporates a variety of non–pharmacological methods of treatment has also been described. ''Unmada'' is the only disease entity in the entire classical Ayurvedic literature, which requires such an extensive and broad spectrum of management principles, techniques, drugs, counseling, psychotherapy and therapeutic modalities, which are to be judiciously utilized by the clinicians based on their specific indications and the state of the disease.
