Study on the mechanism of TCM in treating depression

I have mentioned in my circle of friends before that I have encountered several cases of depression that were treated very well with Chinese patent medicine. The patent medicine is Buzhong Yiqi Decoction plus Shugan Jieyu Capsule plus Bushen Yinao Tablets, because the Chinese medicine syndrome belongs to spleen and kidney yang deficiency with liver depression, long-term stress leads to fear 😱, fear of kidney damage, and of course liver depression. Western medicine only treats the link of liver depression, so the effect is not good. After taking antidepressants, many people still commit suicide. I fully agree with the treatment method described by the following person. These are all treatment methods to supplement kidney yang, and they have the same goal. Now medicine must study depression from the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis to make a breakthrough. The top figures in Chinese medicine all despise Western medicine, such as Ni Haixia, who was once the director of the Florida Acupuncture Committee in the United States. In my opinion, it is a bit extreme to completely deny Western medicine, but it is true that almost half of Western medicine has insurmountable defects in its treatment ideas, and these can all be considered in Chinese medicine. Of course, because the entry threshold of Chinese medicine practitioners is low, their levels vary. In addition, there are problems with the current training model for Chinese medicine practitioners in China, so even a director-level Chinese medicine practitioner may not be able to prescribe a prescription that can cure a disease. When looking for a Chinese medicine practitioner, don't look at the title, but whether there are many patients, just like looking for a restaurant.
