To explore occurrence law of major depression and bipolar disorder based on theory of five circuits and six qi, and provide a new thoughts and methods to future study on preventive treatment of depression. Methods:Data of 181 patients with major depression and bipolar disorder in our hospital from January 2014 to February 2015 were collected. The occurrence date were converted into five circuits and six qi, including year evaluative phase, host evaluative phase, host climate qi, guest evaluative phase and guest climate qi, and we concluded occurrence law of affective disorder, and separately of major depression and bipolar disorder. Results:Host evaluative phase: Major depression reached maximum on water of endowment, on wood of outbreak, and it got its minimum on metal of endowment, on earth of outbreak. Bipolar disorder reached maximum on water of endowment, on fire of outbreak, and it got its minimum on earth of endowment, on water of outbreak. Guest evaluative phase: Major depression reached maximum on wood of endowment, on wood of outbreak. Bipolar disorder reached maximum on wood of endowment, on earth of outbreak. Host climatic qi: Major depression reached maximum on yangming dryness metal of endowment, on yangming dryness metal of outbreak, Bipolar disorder reached maximum on taiyang cold water of endowment, on shaoyin chief fire of outbreak, or on taiyin water earth of endowment, on yangming dryness metal of outbreak, and it got its minimum on jueyin wind wood of endowment, on jueyin wind wood of outbreak. Guest climatic qi: Major depression reached its minimum on shaoyang phase fire of endowment, on taiyang cold water of outbreak. Bipolar disorder reached maximum on shaoyang phase fire of endowment, on taiyang cold water of outbreak. Conclusion:There was correlation between endowment and outbreak of depression, and difference between outbreak of major-depression and bipolar-disorder endowments was significant (P=0.00<0.01), as was difference between bipolar disorder outbreak of depressive-state and manic-state endowment (P=0.00<0.01). |
