Mental illness stems from phlegm and dampness blocking the brain, resulting in physical and mental nutritional imbalance, long-term qi and blood imbalance, and the body falling into a state of extreme cold.
Is it okay to have psychosis? Can Chinese medicine**? These two issues seem to have been controversial since a long time ago.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mental illness belongs to the mental illness of "madness and madness".It is mainly caused by phlegm dampness obstruction and confusion. Epilepsy symptoms are poor mental state, depressed mood, feeling that the world is gray and lifeless, and prone to sadness and tears. When the disease worsens, the person becomes a stranger and even has suicidal thoughts.
Manic symptoms are mainly caused by overheatingManifested by crazy laughter, sleepless days and nights, and persistent gibberish. The condition is severe, the patient will even see the Buddha of the heavens. Modern Western medicine believes that mental illness cannot be completely controlled, and it can only control the onset and **, and it is recommended to take antipsychotic drugs for life.
Let me share a typical case with you:
Patient Xiao Li, male, 25 years old, has been suffering from mental illness for three years, and his condition presents with intermittent episodes. During the cooler seasons, the risk of disease is higherAuditory hallucinations, disorganized behavior, and unwarranted accusations and crying at others.
At first, he was treated with conventional psychotropic medications, which were initially effective but had poor long-term results. Therefore, he increased the dose of the drug. His tongue is yellow and greasy, red in color, and is accompanied by symptoms such as insomnia, dry mouth, thirst, and dry stools. These are all obvious manifestations of liver qi stagnation, spleen and stomach damage, and migration disorders.
In this case, the human body is prone to phlegm, which is the source of all diseases. If there is too much phlegm, it can clog the brain, leading to confusion and mental problems. At that timeThe ** plan given to him is to dissolve phlegm and heat, open the body and vent turbidity.
According to this idea, he was prescribed a prescription to take 21 doses first.
Second diagnosis: the patient's mood and irritability symptoms improved after taking the medicine, and the stool was smooth. However, there are still problems with insomnia, dreams, and hallucinations, indicating that phlegm and fever have not been completely cleared. Therefore, continue to clear phlegm and heat, and regulate the heart and liver.
After the third diagnosis, the patient's state of mind was calm and his sleep quality improved.
After taking Chinese medicine for three consecutive months, the condition was stable and did not appear in three years**.
I have seen many mentally ill people, and their experiences are heart-wrenching. He went through many twists and turns and pain. Therefore, I focus on the research of TCM **psychiatry** methods, aiming to fundamentally solve the problem, reduce the suffering of patients, and avoid long-term use of antisperm drugs, which is my lifelong research direction and goal.
