AYURVEDIC ASPECT AND MANAGEMENT OF NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER

Ayurveda is an ancient science of healing that has existed for 3000 years. Ayurveda revolves around three sharirik doshas vata, pitta, and kapha, and three mask doshas satva, rajas, and tamas. All personality disorders are directly correlated with the vitiation of manasic doshas that in turn vitiates shrink doshas. Acharya has best-described manas roga in ancient texts. Narcissistic personality disorder in Ayurveda is related to Unnmada roga. Unnmada is the manas vyadhi which is best understood as mana (mind), buddhi (understanding), sangya (consciousness), Guyana (perception), smriti (memory), bhakti (inclination), chesta (behavior), sheel (character), Zahara (conduct).

                                                                               (Charaka Samhita)

Our Acharya has mentioned sixteen manas prakriti with features that are based on a person’s behavior and mental activities. These are mainly of three types Sattvik prakriti  (signifies purity, wisdom, enlightenment), Rajas prakriti (signifies the quality of energy, passion, ambition, change), and Tamas Prakriti (signifies darkness, inactivity, inertia). These three have subtypes. Narcissistic personalities have features similar to Asur prakriti which is a subtype of rajas Prakriti. Some peculiar features of Asur Prakriti are as follows.

  • Courageous and bold
  • Aggressive
  • Indulge in self-growth
  • Thinks only about their own benefits
  • Controlling and manipulative
  • Petrifying and cruel behavior
  • Deceiving tendencies

In Ayurveda, there is Medhya Rasayana for the management of mansik rogas. Some of the medhya rasayana is mandukaparni (Centella asiatica), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), jyotismati (Celastrus paniculata),shankhpushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis), Vacha (Acorus calamus), kushmanda (Benincasa hispida), Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and others.

INTRODUCTION

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a multiplex personality disorder often invented with other affective and personality disorders.The word “ narcissism” originates from greek word mythology.

People suffering from this condition are in love with this inflated self image as it allows them to avoid the deep feeling of insecurity. Narcissistic personality disorder involves egocentric, aggressive  thinking and behaviour, lack of affinity for the people.

A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school, and financial affairs. They are always disappointed and unhappy.
