Zhang Yunling’s experience in treating generalized anxiety disorder with six methods
Professor Zhang Yunling’s experience in treating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) with six methods is introduced. According to Pro. Zhang, the pathogenic mechanisms of GAD include: Shaoyang stagnation and pivot malfunction; yin-yang imbalance and Jueyin wind-stirring; transformation failure due to spleen deficiency, retention and obstruction of damp turbidity; ying-wei dysregulation and exterior-interior complex; yin-blood deficiency and internal disturbance of deficiency heat; and pathogenic phlegm-heat disturbing internal organs. In the clinic, these pathogeneses are sometimes concurrent.Correspondingly, there are six treatment methods proposed which have achieved satisfactory results in the clinic, i.e., pivoting qi movement of Shaoyang, calming wind-stirring of Jueyin, strengthening the spleen-earth of Taiyin, harmonizing the exterior-interior and regulating ying-wei, nourishing yin and blood to tranquilize the mind, and resolving phlegm and clearing heat. Two proven cases have presented for exemplification.
