Emotional Disorder in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Emotional disorder is a broad term encompassing a range of mental health conditions characterized by significant disturbances in emotional regulation and functioning. These disorders can manifest in various ways, including persistent mood swings, excessive anxiety, uncontrollable anger, or profound sadness. Individuals with emotional disorders often struggle to maintain stable relationships, perform effectively at work or school, and manage daily life tasks due to their emotional instability.

Common types of emotional disorders include major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and borderline personality disorder. These conditions can significantly impact an individual's quality of life, affecting their thoughts, behaviors, and physical well-being. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by mental health professionals, considering symptoms, duration, and impact on daily functioning. Treatment approaches often combine psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle modifications to help manage symptoms and improve overall emotional well-being.
