Treatment consists of three main stages. In Stage 1 (Acute Stabilization, approximately 1–3 months), autonomic nervous system hyperarousal and insomnia are first stabilized using acupuncture on the wrist, inner wrist, and crown areas, along with herbal medicines designed to relieve phlegm and calm the mind. In Stage 2 (Recovery, approximately 3–6 months), herbal medicines that nourish both the mind and the spleen/stomach are used to strengthen the heart energy and restore blood circulation, creating a physical foundation that allows for a more stable response to the same triggers. In Stage 3 (Maintenance Phase), consultations are held 1 to 2 times a month to monitor for signs of relapse and support the return to daily functions. Dongjedang adjusts the intensity of Oriental medicine treatment at each stage while monitoring the progress of psychiatric treatment. If psychotherapy is in progress, the direction of Oriental medicine treatment is adjusted accordingly. The principle is to proceed at the patient's own pace.
