Depression is actually not necessarily a bad thing, this is not comfort, this is a fact, some people may want to scold people when they see this sentence, think it is nonsense, don't worry, listen to me slowly tell you, you will understand.
Generally speaking, people with depressive tendencies are more responsible, because they are under greater pressure and higher expectations, but lack of proper confiding and venting, these emotions accumulate in the body, and their liver is damaged, resulting in poor self-excretion, resulting in liver depression or spleen deficiency.
Since it cannot be discharged to the outside, it will be dredged from the inside, and the liver depression, spleen deficiency, blood stasis, phlegm and fire will be resolved.
Let me share with you a real-life example.
Ms. Ma, aged 25.
Medical history of 2 years, life and family pressure led to emotional depression and heaviness, alienation from others, loss of enthusiasm and appetite, because of the aggravation of the disease, resulting in a great impact on personal life and work, suicide attempt, was diagnosed with depression, and then insisted on using Western medicine**, no improvement was seen for a year, and there were negative effects such as memory loss and obesity.

Summary: Depression and depression are two concepts that should not be confused, while depression is a broader concept. Because it covers a variety of diseases caused by qi and blood stagnation and visceral dysfunction, if you have a heart, you can describe it in ancient medical books, such as "Bile Xi Xinfa Six Depression" and "Medical Biography", depression is only a kind of depression, but it cannot be called depression in general.
Depression is similar to the symptoms of madness, irritability, weakness, and woodenness in ancient medical literature, so he cannot simply classify depression as depression.
