Discussion on the Names of Dementia in Traditional Chinese Medicine
By analyzing the symptom descriptions and pathogenesis of ‘dementia’and ‘forgetfulness’ in ancient medical books
this article reveals the evolvement and development of the name of dementia in traditional Chinese medicine( TCM). We think the name of‘dementia’and‘forgetfulness’ in TCM had a broader meaning
which covered mild cognitive disorder
mild dementia
and moderately to severe dementia with mental disorders in modern medical perception. Naming ‘forgetfulness’ as a TCM’s term for mild cognitive disorder and early stage of dementia will benefit TCM research in etiology
pathogenesis and treatment of mild cognitive disorder
and improve the efficacy of TCM dementia prevention and treatment.
