Which dosha is associated with persistent melancholic mood and social withdrawal?

Vata Pitta Kapha None

Correct Answer:

Kapha

Explanation:

Kapha imbalance brings heaviness, inertia, and attachment. When Kapha is aggravated, the mind tends toward a slow, dull mood with reduced motivation and a preference for staying within familiar circles — this can manifest as a persistent melancholic mood and social withdrawal. The other doshas carry different emotional signatures: Vata tends to produce anxious, restless mood and quick shifts; Pitta tends toward intense, irritable states. So the described pattern best fits Kapha.
