Nursing care of emotional diseases

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that changes in human qi and blood will lead to emotional abnormalities. As the classic of traditional Chinese medicine says: "Qi deficiency in the liver leads to fear, but in fact it leads to anger. I'm not sad enough, but I can't stop laughing. " That is, if the liver is qi-deficient, people are easily frightened; When liver qi is sufficient, it is easy to get angry. If the spirit is insufficient, you will feel sad and depressed; If you are honest, you will make your mood happy.

Cause of disease ◎ Anger and fear: "Too much blood leads to anger, but not enough blood leads to fear." It means that if the energy of blood transfusion is too strong, it is easy to get angry; If the blood energy is insufficient, it will make people feel scared.

◎ irritability: Chinese medicine believes that "annoyance" is a deficiency of kidney essence, which leads to excess fire; "Mania" refers to the deficiency of kidney essence, which leads to the deficiency of yang.

◎ Mental retardation: Mental retardation is also caused by the weakness of essence, which cannot be lost to the brain. Even congenital mental retardation is caused by insufficient bone marrow and brain power.

◎ ADHD: ADHD is mostly caused by deficiency of kidney essence and inability to converge to fire deficiency. The reason is that some people like to eat cold drinks, which leads to stomach cold, so that the stomach meridian can not be condensed, and the downward development leads to kidney cold, which leads to insufficient kidney essence and excessive fire.

◎ Epilepsy: Epilepsy is mainly caused by the mother's fright during pregnancy, which leads to the disorder of menstruation and qi in children and some pathological changes in the five internal organs. Such children are inherently weak, especially in adolescence, and epilepsy will occur more frequently.

Precautions ◎ Prevent from being too hasty. Excessive happiness can cause hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, insomnia and other diseases. Therefore, everything should go with the flow and treat your achievements, property, reputation and so on. With a stable and calm mood, don't get carried away, lest you be extremely sad.

◎ Prevent fear. Children have a short life span and little knowledge, and are more likely to be frightened and sick than adults. They should avoid all kinds of scary factors, such as not watching movies and TV programs with gloomy and scary scenes.

◎ Prevent overthinking. "Thinking hurts the spleen". Spleen injury leads to deficiency of qi and blood, which may lead to mental malnutrition and other diseases, such as insomnia and neurasthenia. Usually, we should pay attention to self-regulation, actively extricate ourselves, keep realistic life goals, often participate in social and cultural activities, make friends, and cultivate hobbies, such as reading, singing, painting, gardening and traveling.

◎ Prevent worry. Be kind to yourself at ordinary times, appreciate yourself, don't force anything, don't haggle over every ounce, and even intrigue.

◎ Prevent excessive anger. Excessive anger can cause stroke, angina pectoris, stress ulcer and other diseases, and long-term excessive anger can also reduce the body's immunity. So learn to swallow your anger, learn to forgive, and learn to vent your anger, such as talking or crying, punching at sandbags, or singing loudly and running.
