卑惵考略

Investigation on Bei Die

国外医学界认为抑郁症有“Inappropriate Guilt”症状。国内中、西医学者在论述抑郁症时一般依据英文直接翻译为“自责自罪观念”或“过度的内疚感”等。国外学者普遍认为中医学中没有关于本病“过度的内疚感”这一症状或其他相关的论述和治疗。论述卑惵的源流、病因病机、治则、方药及类证鉴别等内容,表明中医学中已有较为完整的关于抑郁症“Inappropriate Guilt”症状的相关记载和治疗等内容。将这些内容整理成篇,供临床诊治抑郁症参考。

Overseas doctors hold that depression has the symptom of “inappropriate guilt” and TCMhas no discussions and treatment on it. This article discusses the origin and development, etiology and pathogenesis, therapeutic principles, prescription of Bei Die, revealing that TCM has had quite comprehensive record on the symptoms and treatment of “inappropriate guilt. ”
