Dr. Nisha C. N.* and Dr. Raviprasad Hegde
Abstract
Atatwabhinivesha is described as Maha Gada by Punarvasu Atreya. In
modern literature the term used for this condition is “delusion”. It
means false, unshakable belief which is not amenable to reasoning.
This disorder previously called as paranoid disorder, in which a person
cannot tell between what is real from what is imagined. Here is an
attempt made to explain a case study of Acute Predominantly
Delusional Disorder with Ayurvedic management.
Keywords: Ayurveda, Atatwabhinivesha, delusional disorder, Shodhana, Mustadi Yapana Basti.
