The second group (causes of insanity) is what the Tibetans call grief-worry. It corresponds very closely to what we know in the West as psychological stress. The factors at work here are such things as loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of status, overwork, strain, worry, isolation, breaking of promises, going against religious and cultural taboos, and the inability to integrate, because of their painfulness, deeper insights into the nature of one’s life and reality. Treatments for psychiatric disorders in this category include environmental and life adjustments, Dharma practice to promote relaxation and self understanding, and a whole range of herbal medicines and medical therapies.
