Abstract:
Panic disorder(PD)is a kind of recurrent chronic psychiatric disorder,and its exact pathogenesis has not yet been clarified.Western medicine for PD can achieve certain efficacy,but has obvious side effects.Under the guidance of the view of physique-spirit integration in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),the management of PD should include the measures for treatment and prevention with reference to the theory of five zang organs producing spiritual and mental activities and emotional theory in TCM,so as to break the vicious cycle of recurrent attacks of PD.This paper sorted out the theoretical connotations of the five zang organs producing spiritual and mental activities and emotional theory in TCM,and summarized their application in guiding the treatment of PD.It is indicated that five zang organs failing in producing spiritual and mental activities is the root cause of PD,the disharmony of physique and spirit is the basic pathogenesis of PD,and the injury of emotions is the triggering factor of PD.For the syndrome differentiation and treatment of PD,the identification of the deficiency syndrome and excess syndrome should be done firstly.The differentiation of the deficiency syndromes aims to identify the deficiency of any of zang organs,and the differentiation of the excess syndrome aims to find out the predominant pathogens from qi stagnation,phlegm-damp,and blood stasis.The goal of PD treatment is to tranquilize the spirit,and the TCM therapies PD include Chinese medicine therapy,acupuncture and moxibustion therapy,acupoint catgut embedding therapy,and emotional therapy.The treatment of PD based on the theories of five zang organs producing spiritual and mental activities and emotional theory in TCM will provide ideas for the multidimensional treatment of PD.
