Discussion on treating depressive disorder from yang deficiency based on the structural six meridian view
In Shanghan ZabingLun,ZHANG Zhongjing summarized the body's response to diseases into six categories,and the diagnosis and treatment of both external and internal injuries required the identification of the six meridians.The'structural six meridians view'fully inherits the six meridians theory and combines two major properties(excitation/inhibition)and three layers of structure(circulation,myofascia-intercellular matrix,cellular function)into a new six meridian differentiation system.Most of the depressive disorder patients have yang deficiency,therefore,the treatment of depressive disorder based on the new six meridians system from the perspective of supporting yang qi can yield good results.
