symptom of underlying doshic imbalance." Vata type relates

to fear,anxiety, loneliness, nervousness which comes and

goes. Pitta is anger, resentment, competitiveness and

violence , self judgemental and possibly suicidal over it's

failures, and potentialy dangerous to others. Kapha is slow,

sluggish,detached, and uses food as a substute. The

treatment involves identifing the underlying imbalance and

restoring balance thru diet and herbs etc...
