Essentials for Diagnosis 
(1) Presence of schizoid personality such as autism, introversion, sensitivity, abashment, dependence and fantasy in most cases and a family history of schizophrenia in some cases.
(2) Predisposing factors usually exist before the attack, but the clinical symptoms are not related to the factors.
(3) Among the symptoms such as disturbance of association, auditory hallucination, behavioral disorder, feeling of passivity, feeling of being revealed and thought insertion, at least 2 or 3 of them should be present.

In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Dfferentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a more definite and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, you're welcome to contact us.
