[Supplementary Discussion]
The Heart belongs to Fire and governs Blood. When Yang Qi is excessive, Blood merges with Yang. Pathogenic Heat attacks the collaterals of the Heart, causing mental restlessness and confusion. The patient may chant or sing, speak or laugh. Spirit fails to remain within, speech becomes abnormal, accompanied by fright, palpitations, and unease. The patient may discard clothing and run about. These are all caused by Heat-Toxin stagnating in the chest and heart, leading to mania.
