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 and 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'' (impairment of memory), behavioral, social and emotional disturbances in the form of abnormalities of ''achara'' (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 vakyama''), thought blocking (''hridaya shunyata'' ), loosening of associations, neologism, echolalia etc. and various psycho-motor disturbances .
