        abstract = {Vishada, or depression, is a complex mental health disorder that affects millions worldwide. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, offers a unique perspective on the etiology and management of Vishada. This review explores the Ayurvedic concept of Prakriti (individual constitutional type) and its relationship to Vishada. A comprehensive analysis of Ayurvedic texts and research studies reveals that Prakriti plays a crucial role in the development and manifestation of Vishada. Individuals with certain Prakriti types (e.g., Vata, Pitta) may be more prone to Vishada due to inherent imbalances. This review highlights the importance of considering Prakriti in the diagnosis and treatment of Vishada, and discusses the implications for personalized Ayurvedic interventions. By integrating Ayurvedic principles into modern mental health care, healthcare providers can offer more holistic and effective treatment strategies for individuals with Vishada.},
