In traditional Chinese medicine, mental diseases are called "emotional diseases", such as autonomic disorders, anxiety and depression, and some "mental diseases" such as bipolar and fine divisions.
Whether it is emotional illness or mental illness in Chinese medicine, it is called depression, and there is no need to distinguish so clearly, because emotional illness can also develop, and when it develops to a certain extent, mental illness will also be affected.
Therefore, some depressed patients look at it and end up bipolar.
Psychiatric diseases are mental diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, which are mainly divided into: qi stagnation and phlegm, liver fire and phlegm, qi stagnation and blood stasis, heart and spleen deficiency, and kidney and yang weakness.
That's not what Western medicine thinks, anxiety is anxiety, depression is depression, and nothing else.
In general, no matter how it is treated, what can be cured is good medicine.
Why is it said that Chinese medicine can cure emotional diseases?
Let's put it this way, it is a "qi", and all diseases are born from qi.
Qi is born in harmony, jin and liquid are combined, and God is self-generated", and the change of mood should be the first offense of the qi machine, causing the qi machine to reverse chaos or deplete the vitality. Then from the six meridians to the viscera inward, the imbalance of the qi for a long time will cause the viscera essence and blood to be consumed, and the emotional will can also go straight to the viscera, just as the "Lingshu Oral Question" said: "Sadness and sorrow are heartbeat, and heartbeat is the five viscera and six viscera are shaken." ”
Under the influence of the thinking of the integration of form and spirit, the method of emotional illness in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly based on the two aspects of "regulating the mind" and "treating the form".
The most direct and effective mood is the most direct and effective in the middle of emotional disorders. For the adjustment of the mind, Chinese medicine has produced the concept of regulating and regulating from the inside out: on the one hand, it strengthens the spirit and cultivates the spiritual realm of tranquility and emptiness, and on the other hand, it pays attention to the influence of the five internal organs on the spirit.
The function of the viscera is prosperous or not, and whether the essence and blood are abundant or not directly affects the patient's form and spirit**. When the disease is introduced into the viscera, the pathogenesis changes, common visceral deficiency and pathological products, common symptoms include liver qi stagnation, kidney essence deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm and heat disturbance. In addition, emotional illness is also closely related to the musculoskeletal state of the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is mainly based on the treatment of emotional diseases, according to the principle of balancing yin and yang, regulating the function of the viscera, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, soothing the liver and regulating qi, strengthening the spleen and benefiting the kidneys and other methods to achieve the goal, and the curative effect is stable, and it is not easy to heal.
The efficacy of Western medicine for emotional illness is more obvious in a short period of time, but long-term use of such drugs is easy to produce *** and addiction. Traditional Chinese medicine **depression*** is small, will not produce dependence and addiction, and can also solve the problem of patients who have taken Western medicine in the past
Traditional Chinese medicine is not just about simply prescribing the right medicine, but also formulating a personalized plan according to the patient's constitution, symptoms and symptoms. This kind of personalized conditioning can be more precise to the specific situation of the patient, to achieve better results.
