TCM treatment of depression

Treatment 1: correct understanding, accept standard treatment, the survey shows that 92% of depression do not seek treatment, the recognition rate of depression in non specialized hospitals above prefecture level is less than 20%. Many patients think that once diagnosed with depression is like being put on the hat of mental illness, so resist to professional medical institutions.

Treatment 2: eliminate concerns, accept drug treatment, many patients have concerns about drug treatment, so that they dare not accept drug treatment. The common one is worrying about the side effects of drugs. Patients often feel that all the side effects written in the manual, even some rare reactions, may occur on themselves one by one. Another common concern is about addiction to antidepressants. In fact, antidepressants are not addictive. Most of the discomfort after drug withdrawal is due to incorrect drug withdrawal methods, such as too much dose reduction and too fast drug withdrawal, resulting in withdrawal reaction.

Treatment 3: long term adherence, follow-up treatment, some patients after treatment symptoms, will be lazy, no longer go to the outpatient follow-up, self purchase medicine. In fact, the goal of depression treatment is not to reduce symptoms, but clinical cure. Regular follow-up can facilitate doctors to judge and adjust the treatment plan in time. There is manic tendency in clinical patients after medication, which can not be detected by patients themselves. Only regular follow-up can help doctors to observe and judge.

matters needing attention

For such a disease: exercise, often do some simple Qigong, aerobics or playing ball to exercise muscles and bones, stretch body and mind. Every night before going to bed, soak your feet in hot water, and then rub the soles of your feet. On weekdays, I deliberately encourage myself to keep a happy mood and don't think wildly. Communicate with people and participate in meaningful social activities. According to psychiatrists, exercise is the best natural antidepressant we have.
