In today's fast-paced world, mental health issues are rising due to lifestyle changes, social media use, workplace burnout, and geopolitical events. Despite the urgent need to address the concern, mental health remains stigmatized, inaccessible, and undertreated. Contemporary mental health focuses more on symptoms rather than overall mental well-being. The holistic nature of ancient Indian mental health concepts and paradigms includes elements that contemporary mental health literature has overlooked. Indian texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Ayurveda make significant mention of mental health and provide applications of the psychological remedies to real-world circumstances. This study aims to explore and streamline the diverse practices and techniques buried in ancient Indian texts to offer evidence-based, real-world self-help techniques for overall mental well-being.
在当今快节奏的世界中，由于生活方式的改变、社交媒体的使用、工作倦怠和地缘政治事件，心理健康问题日益增多。尽管迫切需要解决这一问题，但心理健康仍然受到污名化，难以获得治疗且治疗不足。当代心理健康更多地关注症状而非整体心理健康。古代印度心理健康概念和范式的整体性包括一些当代心理健康文献中被忽视的元素。诸如《吠陀经》《奥义书》《薄伽梵歌》和阿育吠陀等印度文献都大量提及了心理健康，并将心理疗法应用于现实情况。本研究旨在探索并梳理古代印度文献中蕴含的各种实践和技巧，以提供基于证据的、适用于现实世界的整体心理健康自助技巧。
