《黄帝内经》说：各种躁动狂乱的行为，都属于火邪。又说：阴气盛极而引发躁动，称为“阴躁”，患者想要坐在井中（寻求清凉），应当用热性药物治疗。为什么呢？成无己解释说：虽然患者想坐进井里，但水却无法入口（因为体内真寒，拒纳冷水）。李东垣说：阴躁到了极点，想坐进井中，说明阳气已经先一步亡失，医生如果不明白这一点，反而将其指认为热证，再用寒凉药物投治，其死亡还有什么可疑的呢？况且寒凉药剂进入腹中，周身之火遇到水就会升腾走散。适宜使用霹雳煎、理中汤、四逆汤等方剂来治疗。
朱丹溪在论述虚病和痰病似鬼祟时说：血和气，是身体的神明所在。如果神气衰败匮乏，邪气趁机侵入，道理上或许存在这种情况。如果是气血两亏，痰浊客居于中焦，阻碍了气机的升降，导致无法正常运行，致使十二脏腑各自失去职能，视、听、言、动都出现虚妄之象，如果用攻邪的方法治疗，病人必定死亡，唉！真是冤枉啊，谁来承担这个责任呢？宪幕的儿子傅兄，十七八岁时，正值暑月因过度劳累而口渴，想喝梅子浆，又接连受到三四次大惊吓，胡言乱语，幻视幻听，病情像被鬼邪附体一样。诊察他的脉象，两手都呈现虚弦且带有沉数的特征。我说：数脉主有热，虚弦脉主大惊，加上梅浆的酸味郁结在中脘，应当补益虚损、清解热邪，引导去除痰滞，病才能安定。于是给予人参、白术、陈皮、茯苓、黄芩、黄连等药浓煎成汤，加入竹沥、姜汁，服用十天后未见效果，众人都责怪药不对症。我再次诊脉，知道他的虚损尚未完全恢复，痰浊也未完全清除。仍然沿用前方，加入荆沥，又过了十天病情才安定。我的外弟戚某，一天醉酒后饱食，胡言乱语，幻视幻听，询问他说是已故的哥哥附体，所说的都是以前的事，非常确切。当时叔父在旁边斥责他说：“不是邪祟，是因为吃了太多生鱼片和饮酒，导致痰浊作祟罢了。”灌下一大碗盐汤，吐出痰液一二升，随后大汗淋漓，经过一夜才安定。金氏妇在壮年时，暑月赴宴归来，婆婆询问她座位次序是否失当，她便羞愧自惭，因此生病，言语错乱，中间常夹杂一句“奴家不是”。脉象大体都是数而弦。我说：“这不是邪祟，而是疾病。”只需用补脾、清热、导痰的方法，几天后自然会安定。家属不信，邀请几个巫师，喷水作法驱邪，十多天后病人死亡。有人说：病不是邪祟却用治邪的方法，为什么这么快就死了？我说：暑月赴宴，外界环境蒸热，辛辣食物适口，内部产生郁热，何况原本就有积存的痰浊，再加上羞愧郁闷，那痰与热的程度，哪里说得尽呢？现在用符水惊吓病人，这是惊扰其神气，导致血气不宁；喷洒法水，这是使体表闭塞、毛孔紧闭，让汗液无法排泄，汗出不出来则体内的蒸热在内焚烧，血气不宁则阴液消减而阳气不能独立存在，不死还等什么？有人说：《外台秘要》中有禁咒这一科，难道可以废除吗？我说：移精变气（通过精神转移来治病），只是小法术，只能治疗小病。如果内有虚邪，应当使用正大光明的治疗方法，自有成熟的规范，明显可考。然而符水对于膈上的热病，喝一口冷凉的，胃热得到缓解，岂不暂时痛快，也可以求得安宁。如果是内伤导致的虚证，以及冬季严寒时节，符水下咽，必然冰伏胃气而导致危害。那些郁热在上部，热邪在表层的病症，必须通过发汗来解除，突然得到清冷的符水，皮肤腠理固密，热邪从哪里解除？必然导致热邪内攻，阴阳离散，血气乖争，离死不远了，又有什么好惊讶的呢？张仲景说：悲伤哭泣使魂魄不安的，是因为血气少。血气少归属于心，心气虚的人多恐惧，闭眼想睡觉，梦见远行，这样精神离散，魂魄妄行。阴气衰败的是癫证，阳气衰败的是狂证。运气学说中的谵妄有两种：一是火邪助心。经书说：岁运火气太过，上临少阴、少阳经，病人反而出现谵妄狂乱。又说：火气太过称为赫曦，其变动表现为炎灼妄扰。又说：少阴所至的病证为谵妄。又说：少阴复气，表现为战栗谵妄。又说：少阳胜气，表现为心痛烦心，易受惊吓谵妄，治疗用咸寒药物。二是寒邪伤心。经书说：岁运水气太过，寒气流行，邪气伤害心火，病人身体发热烦心，躁动心悸，阴厥，上下及中部寒冷，谵妄心痛，若上临太阳经，则口渴且妄冒。又说：阳明司天之政，四之气阶段，寒雨下降，表现为战栗谵妄，治疗用甘热药物。
【中恶】突然心腹胀满，呕吐腹泻不通，像干霍乱的样子，由于人的精神不全，心志多恐惧，遂被邪鬼打击或附着，神情沉沉默默，胡言乱语，诽谤骂詈，揭发暴露人事隐私，不顾忌讥笑嫌疑，口中喜欢预言未来的祸福，等到时候一到，毫发不爽，有人起心动念就知道原因，登高涉险如履平地，或悲泣呻吟不想见人，像醉像狂，症状万端，只需根据当地风俗考验并治疗即可。
【尸疰等证】飞尸，发病没有渐进过程，忽然到来，症状是心腹刺痛，气息喘急胀满。遁尸，停滞潜伏在人的肌肉血脉之间，触动即发作，也让人心腹胀满刺痛，喘急，攻冲胁肋冲击心脏，病愈后复发。沉尸，发作时也是心腹绞痛，胀满喘急，虽然歇止之后，仍深伏在人的脏腑中，让人无处不厌恶。风尸，在人的四肢，循环经络，症状是游走不定，去来无常，沉默不语，不知疼痛部位，吹到风则发作。伏尸，其病隐伏在五脏，积累多年不除，未发作时身体都像没有患病一样，发作时心腹刺痛，胀满喘急。又有各种尸疰候，则是五尸内的尸疰，挟带外来的鬼邪之气，流注身体，让人寒热淋沥，或腹痛胀满喘急，或肿块突起，或牵引腰脊，或全身沉重，精神错乱，常常觉得昏谬，每逢节气改变，就导致大病，积累年月，逐渐导致顿滞，以至于死，死后又传染给旁人，乃至灭门，所以称为尸疰。都用忍冬藤叶，切碎几斛，煮得浓稠，取汁煎服，每日三次，病愈为止。太乙神精丹、苏合香丸，是治疗此疾的第一选择。因为丧事惊恐忧愁悲哀烦恼，感受尸气形成各种证候变动不已，似冷似热，风气触动则发作，用雄朱散。过去在徽城，日常调制神精丹一料。庚申年，我家一个妇人，梦中见到两个黑仆人，一前一后，手中拿着一个东西，前面的说“到了吗”，后面的应声说“到了”，击下发出爆裂声，于是魇住，醒来后心尖一点痛不可忍，昏闷一时许。我突然想起神精丹有此一证，取三粒让她服用，一会儿就没病了。她说服药后觉得痛止神醒，现在如常。日后相识的人稍有邪气，给一二服没有不应验的，方子在《千金方》中，是治疗中风的重要药物。只是近代缺少曾青、磁石，难以配制罢了。
【产后谵妄】陈氏说：产后狂言谵语，是心血虚所致。用朱砂末酒调服，配合龙虎丹参丸、琥珀地黄丸。薛新甫说：前证应当以固护胃气为主，辅以见证的药物为好。如果一味攻痰就错了。郭氏论产后乍见鬼神是怎么回事？回答说：心主宰身体的血脉，因为生产耗伤血脉，心气虚则败血得以积聚，上干于心，心不受触，遂致心中烦躁，起卧不安，乍见鬼神，言语颠倒，世俗之人不认识，呼为风邪，如此只要服用调经散，每服加龙胆一捻，能睡着就安定了。产后发热，狂言奔走，脉虚大的，用四物汤加柴胡，不见效再加甘草、柴胡、生地黄等分煎服，也可以。
The *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states: All restlessness, mania, and transgression belong to Fire. It also says: When Yin is excessive and triggers restlessness, it is called "Yin Restlessness" (Yin Zao). The patient desires to sit in a well (seeking coolness), and should be treated with hot-natured medicines. Why? Cheng Wuji explained: Although the patient desires to sit in a well, water cannot enter the mouth (because true cold within rejects cold fluids). Li Dongyuan stated: When Yin Restlessness reaches its extreme, desiring to sit in a well, it indicates that Yang Qi has already perished first. If physicians fail to comprehend this and instead diagnose it as Heat, administering cold-natured medicines will inevitably lead to death. Moreover, when cold-natured agents enter the abdomen, the Fire of the entire body will ascend and scatter upon encountering water. It is appropriate to treat with formulas such as Pili Decoction (Thunderbolt Decoction), Lizhong Decoction (Regulate the Middle Decoction), or Sini Decoction (Frigid Extremities Decoction).
Zhu Danxi discussed cases where deficiency diseases and phlegm diseases resemble demonic possession: Blood and Qi are the spirit of the body. If the spirit becomes depleted and deficient, pathogenic factors may take advantage to invade; theoretically, this is possible. If both Blood and Qi are deficient, and Phlegm lodges in the Middle Jiao, obstructing the ascending and descending mechanisms and preventing normal function, causing the Twelve Organs to lose their respective duties, resulting in false perceptions in vision, hearing, speech, and movement, treating with methods that attack pathogens will certainly cause the patient's death. Alas! How unjust is this; who shall bear the blame? The son of an official, Brother Fu, aged seventeen or eighteen, during the summer month, became thirsty due to great fatigue and desired to drink plum syrup. He then suffered three or four sudden frights, leading to delirious speech and hallucinations, resembling demonic possession. His pulse was examined as deficient, wiry, deep, and rapid in both hands. I said: A rapid pulse indicates Heat; a deficient, wiry pulse indicates great fright. Furthermore, the sourness of the plum syrup stagnates in the Zhongwan area. One should tonify deficiency, clear Heat, and guide out Phlegm stagnation for the illness to stabilize. Thus, Ginseng, Atractylodes Macrocephala, Tangerine Peel, Poria, Scutellaria, and Coptis were decocted thickly into a soup, with Bamboo Sap and Ginger Juice added. After ten days, there was no effect, and everyone blamed the prescription as incorrect. I palpated his pulse again and knew that his deficiency was not yet fully resolved and Phlegm had not been completely guided out. I continued with the previous formula, adding Honeysuckle Sap. After another ten days, he stabilized. My maternal uncle's relative, Mr. Qi, one day after drunkenness and overeating, spoke nonsense and hallucinated. Upon inquiry, he claimed his deceased brother possessed him, speaking accurately about past events. At that time, his uncle scolded him from the side, saying, "It is not a demon; it is caused by Phlegm due to consuming too many raw fish and drinking alcohol." A large bowl of salt water was administered, vomiting one or two sheng of Phlegm. Profuse sweating followed, and he stabilized after one night. Lady Jin of the Jin family, in her prime, returned from a banquet in the summer heat. Her mother-in-law asked if she had sat in the wrong order, and she felt ashamed and guilty, thus becoming ill. Her speech was disordered, often interjecting "I am not [guilty]." Her pulse was generally rapid and wiry. I said, "This is not a demon, but a disease." Treat only with spleen-tonifying, heat-clearing, and phlegm-guiding methods, and she will naturally stabilize in a few days. The family did not believe this, inviting several shamans to spray water and perform exorcisms. More than ten days later, she died. Someone asked: If the disease is not a demon but treated as one, why did she die so quickly? I said: In the summer, attending a banquet, the external environment was steaming hot, and spicy foods were palatable, creating internal stagnant Heat. Moreover, she had pre-existing accumulated Phlegm, compounded by shame and depression. The extent of Phlegm and Heat is incalculable. Now, startling her with talismanic water startles her Spirit, causing Blood to become unsettled. Spraying ritual water closes the body and pores, preventing sweat from venting. Without sweating, the internal steaming Heat burns fiercely; with unsettled Blood, Yin diminishes and Yang cannot stand alone. How could she not die? Someone asked: The *Waitai Miyao* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) has a section on incantations; can they be abolished? I said: Shifting essence and changing Qi (treating by altering mental focus) is a minor art, suitable only for minor illnesses. If there is internal deficiency-pathogen, one must use upright and proper methods, which have established norms and are clearly verifiable. However, talismanic water, for Heat diseases above the diaphragm, if swallowed cold, can temporarily relieve Stomach Heat and bring comfort. But for internal injury with deficiency, or in the severe cold of winter, swallowing talismanic water will freeze the Stomach Qi and cause harm. For conditions with stagnant Heat above and Heat pathogens at the exterior, resolution requires sweating. Suddenly receiving cold talismanic water solidifies the skin and pores; how can the Heat resolve? It will inevitably attack inward, causing Yin and Yang to separate and Blood and Qi to conflict, bringing one close to death. What is there to marvel at? Zhang Zhongjing said: Crying and weeping causing insecurity of Hun and Po is due to insufficient Blood and Qi. Insufficient Blood and Qi belongs to the Heart. Those with deficient Heart Qi are often fearful; closing their eyes, they wish to sleep, dreaming of traveling far. Thus, Spirit scatters, and Hun and Po wander falsely. Deficiency of Yin leads to Dian (depressive psychosis); deficiency of Yang leads to Kuang (manic psychosis). There are two types of Delirium according to the Six Qi theory: First, Fire Pathogen assisting the Heart. The Classics state: When the annual Fire is excessive, affecting Shaoyin and Shaoyang meridians, the patient suffers from delirium, mania, and transgression. It also states: Excessive Fire is called "He Xi"; its manifestation is burning, scorching, and chaotic disturbance. It also states: Manifestations of Shaoyin include delirium. It also states: Rebound of Shaoyin presents with tremors and delirium. It also states: Victory of Shaoyang presents with heart pain, vexation, susceptibility to fright, and delirium; treatment uses salty-cold substances. Second, Cold Pathogen injuring the Heart. The Classics state: When annual Water is excessive, Cold Qi spreads, and the pathogen harms Heart Fire. The patient suffers from body heat, vexation, restlessness, palpitations, Yin reversal, cold in the upper, middle, and lower regions, delirium, heart pain. If affecting the Taiyang meridian, there is thirst and confused wandering. It also states: During the governance of Yangming as the ruling Qi, in the fourth phase, cold rain descends, presenting with tremors and delirium; treatment uses sweet-hot substances.
[Stroke] Singing or crying, laughing or talking, without limit; use Modified Xuming Decoction.
[Zhong'e (Sudden Evil)] Sudden abdominal distension and fullness, inability to vomit or defecate, resembling Gan Huoluan (Dry Cholera). This arises because the person's Spirit is incomplete, and the Heart-Mind is prone to fear, allowing Evil Ghosts to strike or attach. The demeanor is heavy and silent, with delirious speech, slander, cursing, exposing private matters, disregarding ridicule. The mouth often speaks of future fortune or misfortune, which comes to pass exactly. The person may climb heights and traverse dangers as if on flat ground, or weep and moan, avoiding people, appearing drunk or mad. Symptoms are myriad; treat according to local customs and tests.
[Shizhu and other syndromes] Feishi (Flying Corpse) appears suddenly without gradual onset. Symptoms include stabbing pain in the heart and abdomen, panting,急促 breathing, and distension. Dunshi (Lurking Corpse) lingers in muscles and blood vessels; upon contact, it activates, causing abdominal distension, stabbing pain, panting, attacking the hypochondrium and striking the heart, recurring after recovery. Chenshi (Sunken Corpse) causes severe colic, distension, and panting upon onset. Even after remission, it remains deeply rooted in the zang-fu organs, causing aversion everywhere. Fengshi (Wind Corpse) circulates in the limbs and meridians. Symptoms are migratory and erratic, silent, unable to locate pain sites, triggered by wind exposure. Fushi (Hidden Corpse) lies dormant in the five zang organs for years. Before onset, the body feels fine; upon onset, stabbing pain, distension, and panting occur. There are also various Shizhu manifestations, which are Shizhu among the Five Corpses, carrying external ghostly Qi, flowing through the body, causing alternating chills and fever, or abdominal pain, distension, and panting, or lump formation, or pulling pain in the waist and spine, or general heaviness, mental confusion, and constant sense of absurdity. Changes in solar terms trigger severe illness. Accumulating over months and years, it leads to stagnation and death. After death, it transfers to others, potentially wiping out a family, hence called Shizhu. Treat all with Honeysuckle Vine and Leaf, chopped and boiled in large quantities, decocted thickly, taken as juice three times daily until cured. Taiyi Shenjing Pill and Suhexiang Wan are the premier treatments for this disease. Due to grief, fear, sorrow, and annoyance from funerals, contracting Corpse Qi causes varying symptoms, alternating cold and heat, triggered by wind. Use Xionzhu Powder. Previously in Huicheng, I regularly prepared Shenjing Pill. In the Gengshen year, a woman in my household dreamed of two dark-skinned servants, one ahead and one behind, holding an object. The front one asked, "Have you arrived?" The back one replied, "Arrived." They struck down with a loud bang, causing sleep paralysis. Upon waking, she felt unbearable pinpoint pain in the heart and dizziness for a while. I suddenly recalled that Shenjing Pill treats this syndrome, gave her three pills, and shortly after, she was well. She reported that pain ceased and spirit cleared after taking the medicine, and she is now normal. Later, acquaintances with slight evil qi responded well to one or two doses. The formula is in the *Qianjin Fang*, a key medicine for Stroke. However, modern practitioners lack Zengqing (Azurite) and Cishí (Magnetite), making preparation difficult.
[Postpartum Delirium] Chen stated: Postpartum manic speech and delirium is due to Heart Blood deficiency. Use Cinnabar powder mixed with wine, followed by Longhu Danshen Pill or Hupo Dihuang Pill. Xue Xinpu stated: For the aforementioned syndrome, the primary approach should be to consolidate Stomach Qi, assisted by herbs matching the symptoms. Attacking Phlegm exclusively would be a mistake. Guo discussed why postpartum patients see ghosts. He answered: The Heart governs the blood vessels. Childbirth consumes blood and vessels; Heart Qi deficiency allows failed blood to accumulate and harass the Heart. The Heart cannot tolerate this disturbance, leading to internal restlessness, inability to lie still or sit up, seeing ghosts, and inverted speech. Laypeople do not recognize this, calling it Wind Pathogen. In such cases, simply administer Tiaojing San, adding a pinch of Gentian per dose. Sleep brings relief. For postpartum fever, manic running, and a deficient-large pulse, use Siwu Tang plus Chaihu. If ineffective, add equal parts of Licorice, Chaihu, and Rehmannia, decocted and taken.
