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 brain function, characterized by abnormalities in 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 adverse environmental influences in later life. Currently, both domestically and internationally, Western antipsychotic drugs achieve control of abnormal symptoms through sedative and hypnotic effects. They have a certain therapeutic effect in treatment, but due to their strong dependence, a relapse will occur if the dosage is insufficient or the medication is stopped, requiring lifelong medication. At the same time, they have significant side effects and can cause certain harm to the brain and the functions of the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular checks of liver and kidney function are required, and patients who have taken the medication for a long time or in large doses may experience brain atrophy. Most patients under Western drug control are in a state of depression, exhibiting sluggishness, slow speech, stupor, apathy, weight gain, irregular heartbeat, drowsiness, endocrine disorders, etc., and patients cannot work and live normally and effectively. Western medicine calls this condition a global challenge. In traditional Chinese medicine, schizophrenia is called "epilepsy" and "mania," meaning that excessive yin leads to epilepsy, and excessive yang leads to mania. The treatment focuses on opening the orifices, reviving 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, thereby achieving the recovery of patients. Because traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine do not have dependence, it is a curative treatment that addresses both the root and symptoms. After stopping the medication, it will not relapse, which is the greatest advantage of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine. For this condition, the treatment effect of Buyei Chinese herbal medicine is relatively good. Clinical experiments over the years have shown that it is a broad-spectrum antipsychotic drug, equally effective for patients with negative or positive symptoms, with definite efficacy, no side effects, and no dependence. Patients who are cured can return to their healthy state. It works quickly for patients who have never taken antipsychotic drugs or Western sedative and hypnotic drugs, with some patients even being cured within a week. It also works relatively quickly for patients who have taken a small amount of antipsychotic drugs and have less dependence and drug resistance to the original Western drugs. For patients with a long course of illness and who have taken a large amount and variety of Western drugs, the effect is relatively slow, and the treatment time is also relatively long, due to the influence of dependence and drug resistance. For the treatment of similar patients, the original Western drugs can only be gradually reduced in stages, otherwise a rebound will occur. Gradually reducing Western drugs is to allow patients to transition smoothly to cooperate with treatment, greatly reducing patients' suffering and the workload of care.
