The basic views of traditional Chinese medicine on depression are as follows:
1、
Viscera Disorder: Chinese medicine believes that the formation of depression is closely related to viscera disorder.
Traditional Chinese medicine regards the viscera system of human body as an interconnected whole. When the viscera function is disordered or out of balance, it can lead to abnormal changes of emotions, including depression.
2、
Emotional factors: Chinese medicine emphasizes the close relationship between emotional and physical health.
Long-term emotional depression, anxiety, anger and other negative emotions can damage the zang-fu organs, lead to poor circulation of qi and blood, and thus lead to depressive symptoms.
3、
Deficiency of qi and blood: Chinese medicine believes that patients with depression are often accompanied by deficiency of qi and blood. Deficiency of qi and blood can lead to brain dysfunction, which in turn leads to depressive symptoms.
4、
Unbalanced brain regulation: Chinese medicine believes that the brain regulation function of patients with depression is unbalanced.
