Source: # Vagbhata, Ashtanga Hridaya, Sutra Sthana 1.26 *Discernment, courage, and knowledge of the self are the highest medicine for disorders of the mind.* धीधैर्यात्मदिविज्ञानं मनोदोषौषधं परम् । *dhi-dhairya-atma-adi-vijnanam mano-dosausadham param |* Discernment, courage, and knowledge of the self are the highest medicine for disorders of the mind. Dhi is closer to prefrontal pause than to a slogan. Dhairya is staying in the wave. Atma-vijnana is not a ban on an SSRI. Vagbhata also names rajas and tamas as the two mental doshas; sattva is the healthy tilt.
