Abstract
Introduction: Madonmada is a disease with distinct manifestations. Manodukhaja, Adija, and Chittaja Unmada
are particular types of Unmada, as per different treatises. More knowledge is needed regarding their similarity to
Madonmada. Hence, this study has been undertaken to review and analyse the same.
Methodology: A detailed study of Madonmada and different types of Unmada was done using various
Ayurvedic treatises, and findings were noted.
Results: Manodukhaja, Adija, and Chittaja Unmada differ in their aetiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, and prognosis from Madonmada. Hence, they are separate manifestations.
Discussion: Manodukhaja Unmada, compared to Madonmada, has two different nidanas; it does not share a similar pathogenesis and 2 out of 14 lakshanas match. Adija unmada of Astanga Sangraha and Chittaja Unmada of
Astanga Hridaya both differ in etiology, pathophysiology and symptoms from that of Madonmada, where 6 out of
14 symptoms are similar. Hence, Madonmada can be considered as a separate disease manifestation.
