Epilepsy is the most important neurological disorder which can produce psychiatric symptoms. Conventional antiepileptic drugs in the management of epilepsy intend to reduce the seizures but have no role in the management of psychiatric aspects of the disease. In Ayurvedic literature, ‘Apasmara’ has been mentioned as a psychosomatic disorder and ghrta has been held in high esteem for its beneficial effects in apasmara. Hence the present study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms in patients of apasmara and also to assess the effect of ‘Maha Kalyanaka Ghrta’ on those psychiatric symptoms. A total of 20 cases of apasmara were registered, among them 8 patients had symptoms related to one or more psychiatric components. To those 8 patients ‘Maha Kalyanaka Ghrta’ was administered for 90 days. The study showed that personality impairment was most predominant psychiatric symptom observed in patients of apasmara followed by symptoms related to anxiety. ‘Maha Kalyanaka Ghrta’ had very good effect in reducing the psychiatric symptoms by 57.22 % and 60.69 % at the end of 45 and 90 days of treatment respectively.
