Hi. I don't have diabetes but I do have a psychiatric condition called schizoaffective disorder. I've been urinating 9 to 10 times a day for about a year and my memory weakness started about that time I think. I take zyprexa and Depakote for the schizoaffective disorder. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
will explain you in detail

Detailed Answer:

HAI,
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY.

First of all don't confuse modern medicine with AYURVEDA..

In ayurveda a disease or an abnormal condition had been described involving your diet pattern,lifestyle,mode of work,your individual constitution.

It's not like a modern medicine a single or multiple chemical compound prescribed for a particular disease condition.

In ayurveda SINGLE MEDICINE WILL NOT BE APPLICABLE FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL FOR THE SAME DISEASE.

So,when a individual gets abnormality, ayurveda will analyse lifestyle,diet pattern,dearranged vitals altogether. then physician will rule out cause and treat the root cause for the particular abnormality.

As coming to your concern, passing urine frequently can be physiological and pathological too. certain drugs may cause frequent urination.

As YOUR CURRENT MEDICATION (Depakote and zyprexa) interaction and side effects- i cannot comment on this. As your psychiatrist should give the reference and explanation.

As your schizo affective disorder can be easily managed by meditation and practicing yoga.

Panchakarma is a procedure which generally advised for psychological problems. siro dhara is one of the main treatment procedure for memory weakness and other psychological condition.

Certain medication like brahmi,Shankhpushpi ,satavari,jatamansi,and other classical preparation like manasamitra XXXXXXX will be helpful in psychological disorders.

Counselling will also be advised.
Diet which favours to decrease your problems will be advised.
Hope I given you clarification.

Kindly get back to me for further queries.
