Abstract

Lying is a common act of telling false statements. A person lies at one or another time according to the situation and for an obvious motivation. But, in Mythomania disease the person lies continuously although purposelessly. They can be termed pathological liars and are completely abnormal.

Introduction

Mythomania is also known as pseudologia fantastica or pathological lying. In this condition, people usually lie about things with no obvious motivation. It may be defined as a disease or a symptom of a disease. The DSM-5, the guide for the classification of mental disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association in 2013, considers Mythomania only to be a symptom of antisocial personality disorder and not a mental disorder. The person with Mythomania is known to tell imaginary lies with combined facts to make them believe that they are not lying. These pathological liars tell the lie without worrying about their consequences.

Ayurvedic Aspect

In Ayurveda texts, mental disorders of the mind are said to be caused by the imbalance of tridoshas in the body as well as the mind. Ayurveda provides a holistic change in the patient’s life. According to Ayurveda 3 doshas [Vata, Pitta, Kapha] are categorized for the body, and 3 gunas [Sattva, Rajas, Tamas] are categorized for the mind. Likewise the doshas, these gunas have their distinctive qualities. Sattva guna is considered to be flawless while Rajas represents agony and action and Tamas guna represents dormancy and passivity.

For a healthy mind, proper functioning and balance of gunas and doshas are needed. Lack of satwa guna or excess of Rajas and Tamas gun along with an imbalance of tridoshas lead to various mental disorders. Ayurveda is being used as a complementary therapy in the Treatment of Mythomania. Treatment modalities will be explained further in this article.

Ayurvedic Overview and treatment

Ayurveda offers various treatment modalities for such mental disorders. The Satvavajaya Chikitsa plays a very important and effective role in the recovery of the person’s state of mind to normal.

Satvavajaya Chikitsa

Mental conditions occur due to lack of Satwa within the mind and Rajas and Tamas guna are the cause of mental diseases along with disbalance of gunas due to everyday life improper living. Satvavajaya Chikitsa plays an important role in treating such mental disorders. The concept of Satvavajaya Chikitsa works on balancing the nature of the mind through non-pharmacological methods. It can be defined as ayurvedic psychotherapy. Since Sattav, Rajas, and Tamas guna are displayed by god in our minds. Praying to god for goodwill and positivity in your life can help the person recover in a better way and in less time.

Satvavajaya chikitsa is mainly indicated for all types of mental disorders that helps to divert the mind from determinantal thoughts like- ershya (jealousy), dwesh, krodh (anger) towards beneficial thoughts.

It allows us to move from darkness to light which means to move away from ignorance towards the light of awareness. The disease cannot affect the person who has awakened into the light of realization – Sattvik person. This spiritual practice is indicated in maximum diseases along with mental disorders.

The actions of the Tamas and Rajas guna person lead to the imbalance of tridosha and thus the occurrence of diseases. This is possible by making a connection with the environment, practicing yoga and meditation, following dincharya, and using aroma and color therapies. However, it may be difficult to adopt a harmonious lifestyle but it is not impossible. Once you reach that level of spirituality, leave behind the darkness of Rajas and Tamas and proceed further in life with quality of clarity and purity. Because the satwa guna is the sole cause of health.
