In modern Parlance Psychosis which is characterised by loss of contact with reality and relationship with other people develops hallucinations and delusions can be interpreted as Atattvabhinivesa. In this study, Atattvabhinivesa is reviewed from authoritative Ayurvedic literature with rational approach to elucidate the attributes in relation with the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment principles.
