Patient's question:
A 15-year-old boy is quite strong-willed and has good academic performance. However, I have struggled with inattention since I started practicing for a period of time. During severe episodes, I become extremely irritable, have a strong urge for sexual activity, find it hard to clench my fists, feel weak, hot, and experience eye fatigue, frequent eye blinking, and a lack of energy. Resting and going outside for a walk helps a little, but it doesn’t last long—the symptoms return shortly after. I have a strong urge to move, and even as a child, I would tremble sometimes. At times, I feel extreme guilt because I genuinely want to practice, but I just can’t. I didn’t notice this before, but recently I’ve started wondering if there might be something wrong with me.Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by the long-term sexual exhaustion leading to the depletion of kidney essence and kidney yang, resulting in the deficiency of both kidney yin and yang. It is also related to the deficiency of both the heart and spleen, the lack of nourishment for the heart and spirit, and the inability to maintain mental stability. It is recommended that you take Wuzi Yanzong Wan, which helps balance yin and yang, and Guipi Wan, which nourishes the heart and spleen and calms the mind. Additionally, pay attention to lifestyle adjustments, maintain a regular sleep schedule without overworking, reduce or avoid sexual activity, relax your mind, and manage stress. Eat less spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.There are many treatment methods for ADHD, but since the condition varies among patients, the diagnostic approach also differs. Therefore, patients need timely examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
