Exploration of the theory of treating pediatric mental disorders from the governor vessel
Pediatric mental disorders are collectively referred to as neurological and psychiatric diseases,which fall within the category of emotional disorders in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).These disorders are closely related to the brain,five internal organs,and the physical characteristics of children.According to TCM theory,the mind governs and regulates the spiritual activities of the human body.The Governor Vessel(GV),which connects to the brain and is linked to the internal organs,possesses the functions of tranquilizing the mind,stabilizing the will,smoothing the flow of qi,nourishing the bone marrow,and benefiting the brain.Treating pediatric mental disorders,such as tic disorders,attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,sleep disorders,autism spectrum disorders,and depres-sive disorders,from the perspective of the GV can balance yin and yang,regulate the internal organs,soothe the mind,stabilize the will,and achieve the harmony between the physical form and the spiritual essence,thereby attai-ning a satisfactory therapeutic effect on mental disorders with a dual focus on both form and spirit.
