中医视野下的精神药物不良反应

Adverse Reactions of Psychotropic Drugs From the Perspective of Chinese Medicine

当前精神药物的不良反应和药源性疾病较为普遍,已经成为临床问题,在现代西方社会,人们已经逐渐认识到化学药品对人体的危害,甚至认为许多西药的应用利大于弊,精神药物不良反应是药祸,应当引起医务工作者高度重视。对于这些药物不良反应和药源性疾病,西医往往缺乏可靠疗效手段,中医可以发挥自身优势,采取辨病论治、辨证论治、对症治疗等多重手段灵活治疗,杂合以治,主要治法包括清热、解毒、养阴、活血、泻下,每每取得较好疗效。当然,中医防治精神科药物不良反应的优势远远不仅仅是这些具体治法,还在于整体观念、重视人体正气、治未病等根本优势。

The adverse reactions and drug-induced diseases of psyehotropie drugs are very common and Ilave been clinieal prob- lems. In western countries, people generally realize the harm of chemical medicine on human body. Even people think the appli- cation of western medicine has more disadvantages than advantages. The adverse reactions of psyehotropic drugs are medical dis- aster and should be highly paid attention to. For these adverse reactions and drag-induced diseases, most western medicine lacks reliable curative means but Chinese medicine has its own advantages of disease or syndrome differentiation and treatment as well as symptomatic treatment, combined with therapies of clearing heat, relieving toxin, nourishing yiu, activating blood and pur- ging. The advantages of Chinese medicine for the prevention and treatment of adverse reactions and drug-induced diseases not on- ly lie in these concrete therapies but also the concept of holism, great attention of healthy qi and preventive treatment of disease.
