Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and my body is a bit swollen. I feel weak all over. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. What should I do about kidney deficiency, depression, insomnia, and frequent dreams?Doctor's answer:
Recurring kidney deficiency can trigger depression, neurasthenia, and insomnia, necessitating timely examination and treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is commonly used for treatment, and psychological therapy can also be employed. For severe insomnia, sedative-hypnotic drugs may be required to stabilize the condition. Daily oral Chinese patent medicine should be taken in conjunction with treatment, and it is essential to avoid tea consumption. Maintaining a calm and pleasant mood is crucial.
