Mental health awareness and burnout have been widespread issues in society of late, but Ayurveda has taught the importances of all around health for centuries. By focusing on body, mind, and soul, signs of mental illness may be made clear. Symptoms of mental illness do not only affect the mind, but the body and soul as well. Common causes of burnout are physical stresses as well as emotional triggers. Further, symptoms and causes of depression are often traced back to physical maladies. The common question of how to improve mental health can only be answered by treating a person as a whole rather than individual symptoms.
