Guest guest Posted July 9, 2000 Report Share Posted July 9, 2000 >http://www.jcm.co.uk/mental.html This is a very long but very thorough article on TCM and psychological problems and symptoms, TCM diagnosis, and treatment. It is not possible to cure or even to improve all cases of mental illness with TCM; however, a very significant number of cases do respond favorably to TCM and without the side effects of Western drugs. (The side effects of Western drugs is the reason why so many schizophrenics, people with depression, and others stop taking their medication.) I also want to point out that many cases of severe mental illness (psychoses) have Phlegm as a component, and Phlegm can take a long time to resolve. The Heart frequently is affected in these cases. You'll also note that a severe mental illness is not the only problem these people have. There are quite a few physical problems as well. If you've ever worked with people who are severely mentally ill, one thing you notice right away is that they tend to have a lot of severe physical probelms as well. The severe imbalance which is the Root of the psychosis is also the Root of some rather severe physical problems.
