WANG Yuanyuan,CHEN Liyun.Yan Shiyun's treatment of depression syndrome based on principle of "seeking harmony through changes"[J].Shanghai Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine,2024,58(10):1-4. DOI: 10.16305/j.1007-1334.2024.z20240701004.
Depression syndrome is a condition with a high incidence rate and complex etiology and pathogenesis. Yan Shiyun, a national master of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), approaches the treatment of depression syndrome from the perspective of TCM principles, specifically the concept of "seeking harmony through changes". He advocates for a comprehensive consideration of qi and blood, yin and yang, organs and emotions, aiming to understand the root causes and pathogeneses of the disease. His approach features a distinctive strategy in prescription and medication, emphasizing the prioritization of qi and blood, the mutual support of yin and yang, the coordinated adjustment of organs, and the simultaneous treatment of body and mind, and ultimately aiming to achieve overall harmony through adaption to changes. Two proven cases are included for illustration.
