Every person in the present society is suffering some mental illness. Not only that, in the time of the Buddha too.  That’s why Buddha renounces the kingship and be a monk. Then He Understand that how to stop this suffering and attend to wisdom or free from all suffering. According to the Buddhism Human being mean a complex of both Psychological and physiological elements. Buddhism categorized all human problems in to two parts.

Mental problems

Physical problem

According to Unguttata NIkaya, Buddha says

‘’ Dwe me Bhikkawe roga. Katame dwe?

Kaika roga cetasika rogo’’

The Buddha is the best Psychiatry in this world forever.  That’s why we recognized him as “Sakka katta”

Mental illness mean bad out comes faced by every average person such as –

• ·         Physiological illness
• ·         Psychological illness
• ·         Ethical problems
• ·         Para – Psychological problems

Avery person who living in this society he must face one of these problems or more.

Buddhism recognize this illness as “ Dukka” We can’t find a very suitable word for this term “Dukka” in English Language. But there are some words for it. Like –

• ·         Unhappy
• ·         Unsatisfactory
• ·         Distress
• ·         Discomfort
• ·         Dissatisfaction

But one of those words can’t give the real meaning of “ Dukka”

In the final analysis, Buddhism understands three forms of mental illness.

• ·         Mental illness coursed by psychological reasons
• ·         Mental illness coursed by physical reasons
• ·         Mental illness coursed by cosmic reasons
