Suggestions For Treating Depression With Ayurveda?

Thanks for the query.
I appreciate your decision to get the depression treated through ayurvedic treatment. Ayurveda has very good treatment for psychosomatic disorders.
You mentioned that your dosha is vaata and secondary Pitta. Probably your early depression, anger and other stressors are created by the dosha - it is known nature of vaat dosha.
Therefore I advise you the following ayurveda medicines. They do not have any side effects and you need not worry about it making you habitual.
1. Cap. Stresscom (dabur) 2 caps twice a day with milk
2. XXXXXXX brahmi vati 1 tab twice a day with honey
3. Tab siledin 2 tabs thrice a day with water
4. Saraswatarishtam 10 ml twice a day with water after meal
Do not stop your current antidepressant drugs. Once you feel better and get back your confidence through the above medicines you can gradually withdraw from the antidepressant drugs step by step with the help of your psychiatrist.
I would also like to remind you that ayurveda medicines should be continued for a long time - a year or two may be.
In addition to the above medications, I also like to advice for ayurveda treatments like panchkarma. It will help you overcome the problem speedily and effectively. You may contact the nearest good panchkarma center and request for
1. Shirodhara treatment
2. Abhyang and swedan treatment.
Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have any other enquiries.
Get well soon...
