Etiology of Depression Caused by Yang Deficiency Based on the Concept of"Unity of Physique and Spirit"
According to Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine,depression syndrome refers to some diseases caused by emo-tional discomfort and qi stagnation.The etiology,pathogenesis and clinical manifestations are various,but they are basically manifested as the symptoms of"disharmony between physique and spirit".The treatment is mainly from liver depression and qi stagnation,but the effect is limited.According to the following ideas:"The physiological formation of things is called the physique";and"Once the human body is formed,the spirit will follow",the viewpoint of"the unity of physique and spirit"has gradually formed in TCM.In combination with the theory of"the essence of yang is called spirit"in Huangdi's Internal Classic,the deficiency of yang qi in the five zang organs can lead to the core symptoms of"disharmony between physique and spirit",such as persistent depression,loss of interest and pleasure,lack of energy and excessive fatigue;and the"spirit injury"based on emotional changes may also deplete the body yang,and then lead to the phenomenon of depression.This article starts from the two aspects of"physique"and"spirit",and explores the etiology of de-pression caused by yang deficiency with the change of philosophical guidance concept as the clue.
