Ancient Indian texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Ayurveda contain holistic mental health concepts and practical psychological remedies that contemporary approaches often overlook. This work reviews and organizes these diverse practices to propose evidence-based self-help techniques for improving overall mental well-being, addressing gaps in modern mental health care that focuses on symptoms rather than holistic wellness.
