From an Eastern spiritual perspective, mental issues are seen as a result of attachment to thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.

Eastern spiritual practices aim to help individuals detach from these mental constructs and observe them with a sense of non-dual awareness.

This non-dual approach involves recognizing the unity of all things and the illusion of separation between the self and the world.

Here are some ways to deal with mental issues from an Eastern spiritual perspective:

Meditation: Meditation is a core practice in Eastern spiritual traditions. It involves sitting in silence, focusing on the breath, and observing thoughts as they arise.
The goal is not to suppress or judge thoughts but to observe them without attachment or identification.

Mindfulness: Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment, without judgment or distraction. It helps individuals become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, and learn to respond to them in a more skillful way.

Self-Inquiry: Self-inquiry is a technique used in non-dual spiritual traditions to investigate the nature of the self. It involves asking questions like "Who am I?" and "What is the nature of reality?" to reveal the true nature of the self and the illusion of separation.

Yoga: Yoga is a physical and spiritual practice that includes breathing exercises, physical postures, and meditation.
It helps to balance the body and mind, and promote physical and mental health.

Chanting and Mantra:

Chanting and mantra are practices that involve repeating sacred sounds or phrases. They can help to calm the mind, promote concentration, and connect with a deeper sense of spirituality.

Service and Karma Yoga: Service and karma yoga involve selfless service and helping others without attachment to the results.

These practices help individuals to cultivate a sense of compassion, reduce self-centeredness, and connect with a greater sense of purpose.

In conclusion, Eastern spiritual practices provide a range of approaches to deal with mental issues. By developing a non-dual approach to observing the mental chaos, individuals can cultivate greater awareness and detachment from their thoughts and emotions.

By incorporating practices like meditation, mindfulness, self-inquiry, yoga, chanting, and service, individuals can promote mental and spiritual well-being.
