Ayurveda might indicate types of food/diet and practices relevant to your body type. Have you figured out your doshas? There are many pakriti quizzes online, including this one: https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/prakriti-quiz/
In case you don’t know your doshas, take the quiz more than once to make sure you get definitive results (and note that a tri-dosha result is more than likely not accurate...it is very rare...take the quiz again and adjust some of your answers).
Once you know your composition (primary and secondary doshas), start doing searches like “vata-pitta fall diet”, or “kapha-vata summer exercise” (or whatever your primary and secondary doshas are).
Dr Lad has a very well-known book about the basics of Ayurveda which also suggests practices and procedures for various types of ailments. You might consider picking up a copy: https://www.amazon.com/Ayurveda-Science-Healing-Practical-Guide/dp/0914955004/ref=nodl_ (sorry for the long links, I am on my phone)
Regarding pains in areas of the body, I started to consider that there were energetic, emotional issues, and/or traumas that were needing to be acknowledged and released. I had quite a few different types of sensations in my own body and found childhood trauma and issues that had been holed up there. I found a mindfulness meditation practice hugely beneficial to give me the tools to start to unlock these emotions which may have been influencing my physiology. I am not sure if Ayurveda speaks directly to this, but since Ayurveda is a body healing science, it may also have an energetic, emotional, spiritual component to it too. Additionally, I found therapy helpful to work through emotions I had avoided and parts of myself that had been exiled. I do not know if these concepts will resonate or if they apply.
Jack Kornfield’s audiobook version of Meditation for Beginners is stunning. https://www.amazon.com/Meditation-for-Beginners/dp/B01679X0JU
Finally...NONE OF THIS replaces oversight of medical professionals. I am not a doctor and I am not providing any medical advice nor direction for anyone.
Good luck on your journey inward! Do not forget that power to heal yourself comes from within. This must be balanced with science and medicine as well. We are spiritual beings in human bodies. Sometimes the only way out is through. It gets scary in there, but it is worth it.
Edit: wording
This isn't exactly about mental illness, but it is helpful to see how each dosha goes out of balance mentally. A good resource for sure.
