분노 관련 제반 증상에 대한 한의학 고문헌 고찰

A Literature Review on Symptoms Related to Anger in Korean Medical Texts: Searching for a Korean Medicine Approach to Intermittent Explosive Disorder

목적 : 간헐적 폭발성 장애를 한의학적으로 고찰하여, 대표 처방을 제시하고, 본 질환 치료의 중요성에 대해서 고찰한다. 방법 : 醫學入門, 東醫寶鑑, 血證論에 기재된 怒 관련 병기, 증치 등을 바탕으로 간헐적 폭발성 장애와의 관련성을 연구한다. 결과 : 간헐적 폭발성 장애는 한의학적으로 怒傷肝의 병기와 관련이 있다. 또한 이러한 격렬한 분노는 뇌졸중 등과 같은 응급 질환의 잠재적 원인이 되므로, 질환 예방과 건강 증진을 위해 적극적인 치료가 필요하다. 결론 : 當歸蘆薈丸을 간헐적 폭발성 장애의 기본 처방으로 하여 임상에 활용한다.

Objectives : This study aims to investigate a wide range of symptoms related to anger and their corresponding treatments as described in Traditional Korean Medical literature. Additionally, the study aims to propose key prescriptions for Intermittent Explosive Disorder(IED), thereby striving to explore potential therapeutic strategies. Methods : This comprehensive study examines the correlations between the pathologies, symptoms, and treatments related to anger, as described in the Yixuerumen (醫學入門), the Donguibogam (東醫寶鑑), and the Xiezhenglun (血證論), and their relevance to IED. Results : Anger impairs the liver, giving rise to a spectrum of symptoms including dry hair, headaches, dizziness, a bitter taste in the mouth, tinnitus, vomiting of blood, sharp chest and flank pains, abdominal discomfort, tremors, diarrhea, and hyperventilation. Furthermore, this heightened anger can serve as a potential trigger for strokes and, considering its potential to hinder recovery from various other conditions, calls for proactive therapeutic intervention. Conclusions : Severe anger has the potential to trigger strokes and hinder recovery from a range of illnesses, underscoring the necessity for tailored and proactive treatment based on the severity of symptoms. In the instance of IED, clinical application of the Danggui Luihuiwan (當歸蘆薈丸) is warranted.
