What department should one visit for neurasthenia?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. I would like to ask, for neurasthenia, which department should I see?

Doctor's answer:

This kind of mental confusion is mostly likely due to neurasthenia, although a few cases might be caused by recent overwork or frequent overtime. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, the main consideration is the lack of nourishment for the heart and spirit. It is recommended to have a medical examination for a more accurate diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take various tranquilizing and brain-nourishing Chinese herbal medicines, but specific medications should be taken according to the doctor's advice. Acupuncture and other treatments can also be considered to assist in recovery and regulation.
