Question 1: What is the principle of Chinese medicine in treating mental illness? Suggestion: According to the theory of TCM etiology, people's extreme emotions will affect the balance of Yin and Yang, such as dry mouth and red eyes in the early stage, which will further develop into anger, fire burning Yin, and semen will be phlegm, which will lead to confusion, and then symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, nonsense, hitting people and destroying things will appear. In the case of long medical history and long illness time, patients will be greatly weakened and have symptoms such as mental breakdown, less words, auditory hallucinations and hallucinations. The difference between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in treatment. Western medicine treatment is to paralyze and block the conduction nerve through direct nerve block, so that patients can achieve the external effect of stable condition within a certain period of time. Its advantages are rapid response; Disadvantages are large side effects and lifelong medication. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment focuses on the regulation of visceral function, mainly because Chinese medicine believes that the root of the disease is not nerves but visceral dysfunction. Its advantages are strong eradication; The disadvantage is that the effect is slow, and many patients give up before they can get effective or cure. Discussion on mental illness by traditional Chinese medicine in past dynasties Epilepsy and madness are both mental diseases. Epilepsy (Yin syndrome) is characterized by asymptomatic dementia, incoherent speech and quiet joy; Madness syndrome (yang syndrome) is characterized by restlessness, impatience, beating and cursing, and excessive anger. Because the symptoms of the two can not be completely separated, they can also be transformed into each other, so madness is also called madness. This syndrome is more common among young people. This syndrome has long been recorded in Neijing. The etiology, pathogenesis and treatment were systematically discussed. For example, "Su Wen? The Grand Theory of the True Classics says: "The more manic you are, the more fire you are. Difficult Classics describes the different clinical manifestations of epilepsy and madness in detail. Such as "difficult? "Fifty-nine Difficulties" said: "What's wrong with madness? However, starting from madness, lying less and not hungry, starting from nobleness, starting from distinguishing wisdom, starting from being expensive, starting from laughing and singing, starting from doing things endlessly, the same is true. When I had an epileptic seizure, I was depressed and stiff. " Jin, Yuan and Six Books River? "Crazy Yue" thinks that "the heart is full of fire, the kidney yang is weak, and the ambition is lost." "Danxi center method? Madness said: "Madness belongs to yin, madness belongs to yang, and ... most of it is due to phlegm in the heart", and put forward the theory that madness is closely related to phlegm, which not only had a great influence at that time, but also laid a theoretical foundation for future generations to treat this syndrome by spitting. From Qin and Han dynasties to Jin and Yuan dynasties, the understanding of the clinical manifestations of epilepsy was basically the same. Although epilepsy, madness, epilepsy and wind epilepsy have been mentioned, they have never been clearly distinguished. It is confusing that epilepsy, madness and epilepsy are often said at the same time. In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Kentang began to distinguish it in detail, and put forward the difference between madness and epilepsy. Such as "the criteria of syndrome differentiation and treatment?" "General Theory of Epilepsy" points out: "Epilepsy patients are crazy or crazy, singing or laughing, sad or crying, and drunk, and their words have a beginning and an end, and they don't know how dirty they are." "Crazy people are crazy and violent when they are sick, such as typhoid fever and Yangming's madness. They don't make friends, but they climb high and sing, abandon their clothes and climb over the wall. It is beyond their power, or they have never seen it with others." "Epilepsy will make you unconscious, dizzy, prostrate and unable to compete with others. Even you will look up, or your mouth and eyes will squint, or your mouth sounds like six animals. " This points out the correct direction for syndrome differentiation and treatment in later generations. In addition, madness syndrome is closely related to congenital endowment and physical strength, such as congenital endowment, strong constitution and secret yin and yang. Although it is only a temporary setback of seven emotions, it is not a disease. On the other hand, in case of fright, sadness, fear and unsatisfied will, then the seven emotions are often internally injured and the yin and yang are unbalanced. Lack of natural endowment is often familial, so families of manic patients often have similar medical histories. Epilepsy and madness are both mental disorders, which are common features. But epilepsy patients are quiet and lunatics are active; Epilepsy is more joyful, madness is more angry. Epilepsy is the same as ordinary people at ordinary times, but when it breaks out, it makes you dizzy and can't afford to fall to the ground, and no one knows it. The main causes and pathogenesis of madness syndrome are qi stagnation, phlegm-fire and yin-yang imbalance. Its lesions are in liver, gallbladder, heart and spleen. Clinically, epilepsy syndrome and madness syndrome should be distinguished first. Epilepsy is characterized by depression, asymptomatic dementia and mumbling. Treatment should be based on soothing the liver and regulating qi, resolving phlegm and inducing resuscitation, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, nourishing the heart and strengthening the spleen. Crazy syndrome is characterized by noisy, abusive and manic. Treatment should be based on calming the heart and resolving phlegm, clearing the liver and purging fire, or nourishing yin and calming the nerves. The clinical manifestations of the two are different, but they cannot be completely separated. Epilepsy can be transformed into madness, and madness will often be transformed into epilepsy after a long time. Therefore, the madness syndrome is mostly the initial evidence, and it is advisable to clear away heat and phlegm, soothe the liver and regulate qi, or calm the nerves. If the illness lasts for a long time and the healthy qi gradually declines, we should adopt the methods of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi, nourishing yin and nourishing blood according to the difference of qi and blood and yin damage. If there is blood stasis, it should also promote blood circulation to remove blood stasis. (Excerpted from Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine)

Question 2: What traditional Chinese medicines can treat mental diseases? At present, the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is recommended to treat mental illness in China, and Chinese medicine is rarely used.

At present, the treatment of mental illness is mainly antipsychotic drugs of western medicine. As for the drugs that don't work on the first floor, I don't think it's appropriate. For mild mental illness, psychotherapy is the main treatment, supplemented by drugs. However, severe mental illness is mainly drug, supplemented by psychotherapy.

Question 3: What can Chinese medicine do to treat mental illness? The doctor advised him to choose Chinese medicine for treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can not only treat many strange diseases, but also treat mental diseases in some way, and can also regulate diseases to some extent. Let's learn about the treatment of mental illness by Chinese medicine! Professional doctors point out that in real life, many patients suffer from schizophrenia. However, calming epilepsy and calming wind means that Chinese medicine often uses Wuxian Shen Ying Pill to treat mental illness, as well as Dingxian Pill and Wendan Decoction, or Yin Feng Decoction and Cizhu Pill. Another way is to clear phlegm and begin to understand: Chinese medicine also has channels to treat mental illness, such as Ziyingshi powder, Ubud powder, Huangwuhua, and related morning glory, chlorite, alum, Acorus gramineus and so on. In daily life, nourishing yin and suppressing yang is mainly based on Chinese medicine to treat mental illness, such as Chaihu Gulong Muli Decoction or some Fenggan Decoction. Therefore, there are also some healthy strengthening, such as some Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction, Ginseng Yang Rong Pills, or related Heche Jujube Pills. It can also help clear the heart and purge fire, such as bezoar, olive and borax. And traditional Chinese medicine helps to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Huangqi Chifeng Decoction and Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction.

Question 4: Can TCM treat mental illness? Chinese medicine plus acupuncture can cure it! The most important thing is that the family should get along well! Don't put mental pressure on people who are suffering! The patient needs a relaxed environment.

Question 5: Can mental illness be cured by Chinese medicine? The advantage of traditional Chinese medicine in treating diseases lies in its small side effects, which is very suitable for long-term chronic diseases.

Question 6: What are the traditional Chinese medicines for treating mental illness? Director Pei, Department of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Yanhu District Hospital, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province:

There are three keys to the treatment of antipsychotic Chinese medicine in our hospital: First, dredge qi. When qi is running, the blood flows smoothly, the viscera function is normal, and the disease and syndrome are relieved. The second is the close cooperation and application of the method of suppressing yang and calming the nerves. Pathogenic turbidity in kangqingqiao can be reduced, while quiet qi can be raised, and the intercourse between Yin and Yang Can is as usual. Third, attach importance to the handling of the relationship between collaterals, neighbors and transmission of viscera and meridians. For example, dysfunction of spleen and stomach can lead to excessive phlegm, insufficient heart blood, and qi-blood imbalance. Spleen and stomach are connected by meridians, forming an exterior-interior relationship. Nutrients (qi, blood, body fluid) needed by the human body rely on the absorption of Shui Gu by the stomach and the transport function of the spleen, and nourish the whole body through the digestion and absorption of food and the distribution of qi, blood and body fluid. Therefore, the spleen and stomach are also called "the foundation of the day after tomorrow". If the spleen loses its function of transporting and transforming the stomach, qi and blood will be passive, body fluid will not be normalized, and pathological products such as dampness, phlegm and drinking will be formed, and the "spleen and stomach deficiency and cold syndrome" will be born. Taking "deficiency of spleen and stomach" as the core of syndrome differentiation treatment of "madness and depression" is the fundamental difference between the treatment of mental disorders in our hospital and the treatment of "calming the heart and calming the nerves" by other doctors.
