There is no spirit **, but the spleen deficiency is at work.
Having been immersed in the medical field for 20 years, I have deeply realized that the stubborn disease of mental ** is actually a chronic disease. Shockingly, many people with mental illness do not need to take medication for a long time.
My father and grandfather both hung pots for the rest of the world, and my family history immersed me in medical books from an early age, and I developed a strong interest in Chinese medicine. I still remember that back then, my grandfather diagnosed and treated a mentally ill patient, and his unique insights made me refreshed: mental ** is closely related to spleen deficiency, and spleen deficiency even exceeds the severity of kidney deficiency. However, the importance of the spleen is less well understood.
In my ignorant years, my understanding of Chinese medicine was still shallow, and I once thought that the spirit ** was just a problem of liver qi stagnation, which had nothing to do with the spleen and stomach.
However, as the years went by, I gradually realized the hidden wisdom of my grandfather. He prescribed a dose of medicine for a patient who was relieved of his condition, went on with normal life, and even gave birth to the next generation.
My grandfather once warned me: "Doctors, you should not rely on your skills and be obsessed with money, but should uphold the heart of helping the suffering." This sentence originally came from the mouth of Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, and it has far-reaching significance. It teaches us that as healers, we should not just aim for profit, but should always have a benevolent heart to save lives. I took this sentence to heart, and used the method taught by my grandfather to ** countless patients. 
Last year, a patient with a 10-year history of psychiatric illness came to our hospital. His face was tired, he often felt tired, insomnia, his chest was so tight that he seemed to be out of breath, and he heard auditory hallucinations from time to time. In order to alleviate his symptoms, doctors gave him long-term medication olanzapine, but the effect was getting worse and worse.
Seeing that his condition was not improving, the patient began to seek help from Chinese medicine practitioners. After learning more about his symptoms, and considering his family's financial situation, I decided to use the ancient recipe that my grandfather taught me to add or subtract**. After two weeks, the patient's auditory hallucinations, insomnia, and pain symptoms improved significantly. After more than two months of continuous **, he gradually reduced his dependence on olanzapine.
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, mental illness is actually closely related to the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach. **The key is to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, invigorate qi and rejuvenate the body, and dissolve phlegm and calm the nerves. Only by having an in-depth understanding of the patient's physique can we truly grasp the key points of mental illness.
The outcome of treatment is actually very straightforward, either better or no better. For each patient, we doctors should do our best to give them the best possible solution.
I also came from a humble farming family, and I know what it is like to be poor and miserable. I know very well that the lives of ordinary people are not easy, they are under tremendous pressure and struggle to the edge of life. I share this not to show off or prove it, but to show a way out for those who are suffering. I sincerely hope that my experience will give them a glimmer of hope that they will find a solution to their difficult situation and recover their health with minimal cost.
