From the chikitsAsthAnam of charaka - saMhitA, 9th adhyAya, shlokas 4 - 8:
विरुद्धदुष्टाशुचिभोजनानि प्रघर्षणं देवगुरुद्विजानाम् ।
उन्मादहेतुर्भयहर्षपूर्वो मनोऽभिघातो विषमाश्च चेष्टाः ॥४॥
" Antagonistic, defective and impure food; insult to the devas, gurus and brAhmaNas; mental shock due to fear or exhilaration and difficult postures are causes of unmAda (insanity). "
तैरल्पसत्त्वस्य मलाः प्रदुष्टा बुद्धेरनिवासं हृदयं प्रदुष्य ।
स्रोतांस्यधिष्ठाय मनोवहानि प्रमोहयन्त्याशु नरस्य चेतः ॥५॥
" By the causative factors the doshhas get vitiated in the person having a small proportion of sattva (guNa) and affects the hR^idaya, the seat of the intellect. Therefrom reaching the mind - carrying channels they derange the mind of the person(afflicted) quickly. "
धीविभ्रमः सत्त्वपरिप्लवश्च पर्याकुला दृष्टिरधीरता च ।
अबद्धवाक्त्वं हृदयं च शून्यं सामान्यमुन्मादगदस्य लिङ्गम् ॥६॥
" Perverted intellect, psychic agitation, restless eyes, impatience, incoherent speech and vacant hR^idaya (mind) - these are the general symptoms of insanity (unmAda).
स मूढचेता न सुखं न दुःखं नाचारधर्मौ कुत एव शान्तिम्
विन्दत्यपास्तस्मृतिबुद्धिसंज्ञो भ्रमत्ययं चेत इतस्ततश्च ॥७॥
" Thus the person wih a deranged mind does not know pleasure, pain, ethics (AchAra) or dharma, as such how can he get peace? So due to loss of memory, intellect and perception he lets the mind loose to wander here and there. "
समुद्भ्रामं बुद्धिमनःस्मृतीनामुन्मादमागन्तुनिजोत्थमाहुः ।
तस्योद्भवं पञ्चविधं पृथक् तु वक्ष्यामि लिङ्गानि चिकित्सितं च ॥८॥
"Insanity is excessive wandering of intellect, mind and memory. This is of two types - innate and exogenous.
