Special Diagnosis System
Mental illness cannot be cured by treating the brain alone
Most patients suffering from insomnia, depression, and panic disorder have been treated solely through neurotransmitter-focused medication. However, in Korean medicine, we believe that 'the body must be at ease for the mind to rest.'
When the Heart (心) overheats, you feel anxious and restless for no reason.
When the Liver (肝) qi stagnates, you become irritable and your chest feels tight.
When the Spleen (脾) weakens, thoughts spiral endlessly and sleep becomes elusive.
동제당한의원 does not merely suppress symptoms. Through pulse and abdominal diagnosis, we precisely assess how the balance of the Heart · Liver · Spleen has been disrupted, and where the flow of qi and blood (氣血) has become blocked.
Correcting the body's imbalance so that the brain can naturally find its own stability — this is the fundamental approach to mental wellness that 동제당한의원 pursues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I'm taking psychiatric medication — can I take herbal medicine at the same time?
A. Yes, you can. Initially we use them in parallel, and as symptoms improve, the goal is to gradually reduce the psychiatric medication.
Q. Can treatment really make me better?
A. Mental wellness is about 'management and regulation.' We restore your body's balance and cultivate the strength to cope with stress on your own.
Q. Do you also provide counseling?
A. Rather than professional psychological counseling, we focus on Korean medical treatment and lifestyle guidance. For in-depth counseling needs, we can refer you to a specialized center.
