Despite our profound understanding of the underlying molecular processes, cellular events, and interventional techniques to combat its development and consequences, diabetes is becoming an epidemic. People are turning to Ayurveda in the hopes of discovering a complete cure for this disease. Ayurveda has a long history of treating diabetes patients and offers benefits over the modern biomedical approach. Neither of these approaches, however, appears to be capable of completely resolving the diabetic problem. An integrated method that employs both systems appears to be preferable to using only one of these. Adopting an integrated strategy, on the other hand, necessitates a thorough understanding of diabetes pathophysiology according to both systems. Diabetes is frequently linked to madhumeha, an Ayurvedic condition. This association, we believe, is incorrect and is based on an incomplete understanding of diabetes pathophysiology. According to this article, diabetes mellitus should be associated with sthaulya, kaphaja prameha, pittaja prameha, or vataja prameha (including madhumeha) depending on the pathophysiology and clinical symptoms of a specific patient. It affects millions of people worldwide and has become a significant public health concern. While the physical complications of Prameha are well-documented, its impact on mental health is often overlooked. This artcile aims to explore the connection between Prameha and mental health, shedding light on the consequences it can have on individuals' psychological well-being.
