Results: Chinese medicine was the mainstay in the management of mental disorders and wellbeing in ancient days.

This fact is reflected in an increasing number of clinical studies, demonstrating the potential benefits of Chinese medicine in the treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, insomnia, schizophrenia, tic disorders, and antipsychotic-induced side effects. There are also numerous studies in identifying psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic effects of herbal medicine in in vitro and in vivo models.
