Patient's question:
I've been thinking about a very serious issue recently. My father suffered from a mental illness when I was very young, but it wasn't congenital—it was caused by an accident. However, my mother is in very good health. But now that I've just gotten married and haven't been together for very long, I've always wanted to have a baby. But I'm very worried about the possibility of it being inherited from my generation.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Schizophrenia is a disorder caused by dysfunction of the brain, characterized by abnormal mental activity. It is caused by adverse environmental influences in later life, and their descendants will not develop the disease if they are not exposed to such adverse influences. Currently, both domestically and internationally, Western antipsychotic medications primarily achieve symptom control through sedative and hypnotic effects. They have a certain therapeutic effect in treatment, but due to their high dependence, relapse occurs if the dosage is insufficient or medication is discontinued, requiring lifelong use. Additionally, they have significant side effects and can cause harm to the brain and the functions of the heart, liver, and kidneys, necessitating regular monitoring of liver and kidney function. In long-term or high-dose users, it can lead to brain atrophy. Patients under Western medication control are often in a depressive state, exhibiting sluggish reactions, slow speech, stupor, apathy, weight gain, irregular heartbeat, drowsiness, endocrine disorders, and other symptoms, making it difficult for them to work and live normally. Western medicine considers this condition to be a global challenge.In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), schizophrenia is referred to as "epilepsy" () and "mania" (), meaning "excessive yin leads to epilepsy, excessive yang leads to mania." TCM treatment focuses on opening the orifices and awakening the spirit, regulating qi and resolving stagnation, calming the mind and subduing fright, clearing heat and resolving phlegm, and suppressing restlessness and insomnia to regulate and repair abnormal symptoms, ultimately achieving the patient's recovery. Since TCM and Chinese herbal medicine do not cause dependence, they are curative at both the root and superficial levels, and relapse does not occur after medication discontinuation. This is the greatest advantage of TCM and Chinese herbal medicine.
For this condition, Buxi-Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal treatments have shown significant efficacy. Years of clinical experiments have demonstrated that it is a broad-spectrum antipsychotic medication, equally effective for both negative and positive symptoms, with proven efficacy, no side effects, and no dependence. Patients who are cured can return to their previous healthy state. It is particularly effective for patients who have never taken antipsychotic or sedative-hypnotic Western medications, with some cases even improving within a week. It is also relatively fast-acting for patients who have taken smaller doses of antipsychotics or have lower dependence and resistance to Western medications. However, for patients with longer illness duration, higher doses, and more types of Western medications, the improvement may be slower, and treatment time will be longer, primarily due to dependence and resistance. For such patients, the original Western medications must be gradually reduced in stages to prevent relapse. This gradual reduction allows for a smooth transition and facilitates treatment, greatly reducing the patient's suffering and the workload of care.
