Abstract: 躁狂症与中医古籍记载的“狂证”最为贴切,中国古代医家对于“狂证”有着深刻的认识,《素问·至真要大论》云“诸躁狂越,皆属于火”,《难经》言“重阳者狂”,《医学从众录》提到“狂者,语言狂妄,少卧不饥,其候多躁而常醒。”西方医学着重应用药物碳酸锂来治疗躁狂症,但长期服用此药有明显的副作用,部分患者甚至会出现不耐受的情况,而中医药治疗成为了一种代替或补充方案。中医从古至今治疗“狂症”有着悠久的历史及丰富的临证经验,随着对其不断深入研究和发掘,应用于“狂证”的治疗方法不断发展和完善,在缓解患者神志异常症状、降低西药副作用等方面效果显著。Mania is most closely related to the “manic syndrome” recorded in ancient Chinese medical books. Ancient Chinese physicians had a profound understanding of the “manic syndrome”. The “Su Wen·Zhi Zhen Yao Da Lun” states that “all manic symptoms belong to fire”, the “Nan Jing” states that “those with heavy yang are manic”, and the “Medical Consensus Record” mentions that “manic patients have arrogant language, rarely lie down without hunger, and their symptoms are often manic and awake”. Western medicine focuses on using the drug lithium carbonate to treat mania, but long-term use of this medicine has obvious side effects, and some patients may even experience intolerance. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment has become an alternative or supplementary plan. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and rich clinical experience in treating “madness syndrome” from ancient times to the present. With continuous in-depth research and exploration, the treatment methods applied to “madness syndrome” have been continuously developed and improved, and have shown significant effects in relieving patients’ abnormal symptoms and reducing the side effects of Western medicine.
