Mood & Emotions
Western medicine characterizes mood as a sustained internal emotional state that significantly influences behavior and interaction with the external world. Mood disorders, ranging from depression to mania, often manifest as a significant disruption in emotional equilibrium. According to prevalent psychological theories, human emotions can be classified into six basic types—sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise, and disgust—with each undergoing various nuanced subsets over time (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology).
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) identifies three primary patterns of disharmony that can lead to mood swings. First, Qi Stagnation refers to energy blockages frequently resulting from deficiencies in Qi, lung, and heart energies, often considered an 'excess' condition in TCM. Second, Qi and Blood Stagnation, often instigated by emotional stress, impacts the Shen (spirit) and disrupts the harmony of Qi and blood flow (Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine). Third, Liver Qi Stagnation occurs when the liver's Qi fails to flow smoothly, commonly due to liver blood deficiency and heart Qi stagnation, resulting in symptoms like emotional heat and distention (World Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine).
