With the increasingly competitive social environment, people are facing more and more pressure of various kinds, and there are more and more patients with insomnia and depression. However, it is a common point for most patients to seek medical help when they are sick. As a patient with insomnia or depression, you should pay attention to the following points when seeking medical treatment: First, go to a regular hospital specialist. Many patients are attracted by the advertisements of private hospitals, and after going there, they are prescribed a large number of drugs and spend thousands of dollars for nothing, but in fact, only one or two of the least valuable western drugs work. Second, do not blindly believe in Chinese medicine. It’s not that Chinese medicine doesn’t work, it depends on what the situation is. Chinese medicine and herbal treatment for some chronic insomnia is also effective, but for acute insomnia and depression is not as effective as Western medicine and psychotherapy. And some TCM doctors prescribe Chinese medicine and also western medicine to patients, making them believe that the Chinese medicine is working. Some Chinese medicines even have western medicine added to them. Third, you should improve your own recovery ability while taking drugs. Everyone has a strong ability to recover themselves. Many patients do not realize this and always leave the disease to the doctor. Only you are the best doctor for any disease. Patients with insomnia and depression, in particular, should learn to self-manage and conduct self-psychological rehabilitation under the guidance of a professional doctor.
