（即风癫）
风癫，是由于气血虚弱，邪气侵入阴经所致。另外，人在母胎中时，若母亲突然受到极大惊吓，精气并聚，会导致胎儿出生后发作痫病。
其发作时，患者会跌倒在地，口吐涎沫，意识丧失，不知人事。
凡是狂病，多因火邪引起。这可能是因为谋划事情而失意，或者因为思虑过度导致郁结，委屈无法伸展，愤怒无法发泄，从而导致肝胆之气上逆。
木与火合而为邪，这确实属于东方（肝）实证。这种邪气侵犯心脏，就会导致神魂不能守舍；邪气侵犯胃腑，就会表现为粗暴横蛮、刚强易怒。因此应当以清治火邪为先，同时根据痰或气的情况，观察其严重程度而兼治之。
癫病多由痰气和滞引起。凡是气机逆乱，痰浊停滞，都能壅闭经络，格塞心窍。所以发作时会头晕目眩、突然跌倒、口眼歪斜牵引、眼球上翻、手足抽搐、腰脊强直，约一顿饭的时间后才能苏醒。这些症状的轻重变化，正是由于气机的条顺与否决定的。因此应当辨别痰和气，针对其中较重的因素先进行治疗。
凡是平时没有痰疾，但因为郁结不畅、思虑疑虑惊恐，逐渐导致痴呆，言语错乱颠倒，行为举止不合常理，或者多汗，或者经常忧愁悲伤，其症状千奇百怪，无所不至。脉象必定或弦或数或大或小，变化无常。这是逆气侵犯心脏的表现，有的可以治愈，有的难以治愈，取决于胃气和元气的强弱，需要等待时机恢复，不可急于求成。
小儿没有狂症，只有患癫病的常见。凡是小儿的疾病，有从胎气遗传而来的，有从出生后受惊吓而得的。
大概是因为小儿神气尚且虚弱，受惊则肝胆之气被夺，导致神不守舍。神舍空虚则正气不能主持，而痰邪足以扰乱心神。所以凡是治疗小儿惊痫，必须先审察正气，然后考察病邪，酌情适宜地治疗。
邪热攻心导致自笑，用止笑散。
黄连、生地、麦冬、犀角、丹砂、甘草，水煎服，配合童便服用。
笑不止，是心火旺盛，用金花汤。
黄连、黄芩、黄柏、栀子（炒）、制半夏，水煎服，配合竹沥和姜汁服用。
(Also known as Wind Epilepsy)
Wind Epilepsy is caused by deficiency of Qi and Blood, allowing pathogenic factors to invade the Yin meridians. Additionally, if a mother suffers a sudden great fright during pregnancy, the essence and Qi may congregate, causing the child to develop epilepsy after birth.
Upon onset, the patient falls to the ground, vomits saliva and foam, loses consciousness, and is unaware of their surroundings.
Generally, mania (Kuang Bing) is mostly due to Fire. This may result from frustration in planning or excessive rumination leading to stagnation, where grievances cannot be expressed and anger cannot be vented, causing the Qi of the Liver and Gallbladder to rebel upwards.
Wood and Fire combining as pathogens constitute a true excess syndrome of the East (Liver). When this pathogen invades the Heart, it causes the Spirit (Shen) to lose its residence; when it invades the Stomach, it manifests as violent, domineering, and stubborn behavior. Therefore, clearing and treating Fire should be prioritized, while simultaneously addressing Phlegm or Qi based on their severity.
Dementia-like epilepsy (Dian Bing) is mostly caused by Phlegm and Qi stagnation. Whenever Qi rebels and Phlegm stagnates, they can obstruct the meridians and block the orifices of the Heart. Thus, upon onset, there is dizziness, sudden collapse, deviation of the mouth and eyes, upward rolling of the eyeballs, convulsions of the hands and feet, and rigidity of the waist and spine. The patient recovers after about the time it takes to eat a meal. The variation in these symptoms is precisely due to whether the Qi is disordered or smooth. Therefore, one must distinguish between Phlegm and Qi and treat the more severe factor first.
Those who normally have no Phlegm but gradually develop dementia due to emotional depression, excessive worry, doubt, fear, or shock, may exhibit inverted speech, inappropriate actions, excessive sweating, or chronic sorrow. Their symptoms are bizarre and varied. The pulse will be wiry, rapid, large, or small, changing unpredictably. This indicates rebellious Qi invading the Heart. Some cases are curable, others are not, depending on the strength of Stomach Qi and Yuan Qi (Original Qi). Recovery requires waiting for the right time and cannot be rushed.
Children do not suffer from Mania, but Epilepsy is common. Children's diseases may stem from prenatal Qi or postnatal fright.
Since children's Spirit Qi is still weak, fright depletes the Qi of the Liver and Gallbladder, causing the Spirit to lose its residence. With an empty residence, Righteous Qi cannot govern, allowing Phlegm and Pathogens to cause chaos. Therefore, when treating childhood fright-induced epilepsy, one must first examine the Righteous Qi and then investigate the pathogenic factors, treating them appropriately.
