Can bipolar patients switch to traditional Chinese medicine? Can they get married or get pregnant?

Many people will think: Since Western medicine cannot cure bipolar disorder (also known as bipolar disorder), and Chinese medicine is milder, can I change to Chinese medicine, adjust my constitution, and let bipolar disorder heal naturally? This seems like a natural thought. After all, traditional Chinese medicines are all natural things and seem relatively harmless. Even if they are taken for a long time, even if they are ineffective against bipolar disorder, at least they do not seem to be harmful to the body. However, is Chinese medicine less harmful to the body? It is common for creatures in nature to harbor toxic substances in their bodies for self-preservation, and even if they are not toxic, their chemical composition may affect our bodies. Just like opium, marijuana, etc., they are the most natural plants, but are they safe? Can natural herbs hurt the body? it goes without saying. It should be emphasized that bipolar disorder is a disease defined by modern medicine. It is different from the symptoms of "manic" and "depression" in traditional medicine. Do not confuse them. Moreover, so far, only lithium salts, antiepileptic drugs, antipsychotic drugs, etc. have been proven effective drugs. Therefore, we do not encourage the use of traditional Chinese medicine, but if you want to try it, it is not a bad idea, but it is best to consult a qualified traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and do not take traditional Chinese medicine by yourself - especially the medicine prescribed by some unidentified doctors, which are often mixed in There are western medicines such as steroids, and it is not allowed to take them casually. Therefore, our suggestion is: during the period of taking traditional Chinese medicine, it is best to maintain the original lithium salt or anti-epileptic drug treatment, so as to avoid the recurrence of the disease, and suffer from it before benefiting from it. When taking it, pay more attention to your physical condition. If there is any abnormality, stop it as soon as possible and seek the diagnosis and advice of a doctor. After all, human life is at stake, so there is no need to make fun of your own life. Second, many people think that in order to avoid irritation, bipolar patients should not get married, let alone get pregnant, so as not to pass it on to the next generation. For this question, we will answer it in two parts. In the first half of the question, we do not believe that bipolar patients cannot get married. On the contrary, a stable marriage can increase the patient's ability to take medicine and life stability, which is helpful to the disease. But the premise is that the marriage is "stable". During a manic episode, the patient may overindulge and make rash decisions about lifelong events. This kind of marriage does more harm than good for the patient—personality differences tend to show up slowly after the patient is emotionally stable, and then break down during a major depressive episode. relationship between the two. "Cautiousness" is the most important thing for bipolar patients to consider before marriage, and it is also something that their partners must think deeply about - the patient may have a relapse of the disease, and may have to take medicine for life - do you want to stay with each other for a lifetime? If the answer is yes, then there are practical issues to consider: the patient may not be able to work when he is sick, and may have no financial resources. Can he support the family? Families on both sides may object, do the two have enough support systems to deal with such a situation? The second thing to face is the question of whether or not to have children. As mentioned earlier, bipolar disorder has a genetic predisposition, and the children of bipolar patients are also eight to eighteen times more likely to suffer from bipolar disorder and two to ten times more likely to suffer from major depression. There is currently no way to screen a fetus that may develop the disease, and there is no way to prevent the disease in the future. If pregnant and giving birth to a child, it may cause another generation of suffering. Another problem is pregnancy. Anti-manic drugs (such as lithium salts) are teratogenic, that is, if these drugs are taken during pregnancy, the fetus may be deformed, and if you breastfeed after childbirth, lithium salts may also be excreted in breast milk, causing the baby of poisoning. Therefore, during and before and after pregnancy, the drug must be stopped, but in this way, the disease may recur. Moreover, pregnancy itself is a major stressful event, during which endocrine changes can easily lead to emotional disturbances, which are unfavorable for the condition. In any case, between the pros and cons, you must evaluate it yourself. A compromise, according to eugenics, is "adoptation"—a way to reduce the risk of ruining offspring and enjoy family happiness.
