遂说近日多梦虑非吉兆胡曰昔尝如此惊怕特甚有道士教戴丹砂初任辰州推官求得灵砂双箭镞

素问曰人生而病癫疾者安得知之岐伯曰病名为胎病此得之在母腹中时其母有所大惊气上
而不下精气并居故令子发为癫疾也(御览)
癫者精神不守言语错乱甚则登高骂詈或至狂走痫者发则仆地嚼舌吐沫手足搐搦或作六畜
之声顷刻则苏癫者邪入于阴经一曰阳并则狂癫者邪干于心其处方用药亦皆相类
凡人患癫狂叫唤打人者皆心经有热当用镇心药兼大黄与之泻数日然后服安神及风药但得
宁静即是安乐不可见其瘦弱减食便以温药补之病必再作戒之戒之缓缓调饮食可也(御览)
治疗心气不足导致的健忘，有一首诗说道：官桂、远志、人参各三钱，石菖蒲、地骨皮用量相同，茯苓的用量加倍。每日诵读万言，头脑便能通达。方剂组成：官桂、远志、人参、巴戟天、石菖蒲、地骨皮（出自《琐碎录》）。
松滋县令姜愚没有其他疾病，突然不识字已有数年，后来才稍微恢复旧状（出自《笔谈》）。
在七月七日取蜘蛛网放在衣领中，不要让人知道，可以防止遗忘（出自《本草》）。
钱丕少卿忽然夜间多做恶梦，一躺下就做梦，整夜不停。后来他去赴任，经过汉水时与邓州推官胡用之相遇，两人在驿站同住。于是谈到最近多梦，认为不是吉兆。胡用之说：“我以前也曾这样，非常惊恐害怕。有位道士教我佩戴丹砂。我初次担任辰州推官时，求得灵砂制成的双箭镞形状的饰品，佩戴它不到十天就见效了，四五年不再做梦，至今秘密珍惜。于是解开发髻中的红色纱袋送给我，当晚就不再做梦，神魂安宁。”《真诰》及其他道书多次记载丹砂能辟除邪恶，难道不是真的吗（出自《类编》）？
《素问》说：人生下来就患有癫疾的，怎么知道呢？岐伯说：这种病名叫胎病，这是因为在母腹中时，母亲受到大惊吓，气机上逆而不能下行，精气并聚，所以导致孩子发生癫疾（出自《御览》）。
癫疾和狂疾如何区别？回答说：狂疾刚开始发作时，睡眠少，食欲减退，自视甚高，自以为贤能尊贵，无故嬉笑，喜好娱乐。
癫疾患者精神不能守舍，言语错乱，严重时登高骂人，或者疯狂奔跑；痫疾发作时则仆倒在地，咬舌头，吐白沫，手足抽搐，或者发出六畜的声音，片刻之后苏醒。癫疾是邪气侵入阴经，一种说法是阳气偏盛则为狂；癫疾是邪气干扰心脏，其处方用药也都相似。
大凡人患癫狂症，叫喊打人，都是心经有热，应当使用镇心安神药，兼加大黄与之，泻下数日，然后服用安神及祛风药。只要得到宁静就是安乐，不可见其身体瘦弱、饮食减少就用温补药，否则病必定复发，切记，切记！缓缓调理饮食即可（出自《御览》）。
人睡觉时魂魄外游，被邪鬼所魇，压抑其精神，体质弱者被魇则久久不能醒来，甚至导致气绝，所以需要旁边的人帮助呼唤，并用方术治疗。低声远远呼唤就能救活（出自《鸡峰方》）。
To treat forgetfulness caused by deficiency of Heart Qi, a poem states: Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix), and Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) each three qian; Shichangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma) and Digupi (Lycii Cortex) in equal amounts; Fuling (Poria) doubled. Reciting ten thousand words daily leads to mental clarity. Formula composition: Guizhi, Yuanzhi, Renshen, Bajitian (Morindae Officinalis Radix), Shichangpu, Digupi (from *Suosui Lu*).
Jiang Yu, Magistrate of Songzi, had no other ailments but suddenly could not recognize characters for several years, only gradually recovering his old state later (from *Bitan*).
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, take a spider web and place it in the collar of one's garment without letting others know; this prevents forgetfulness (from *Bencao*).
Qian Pi, Vice Minister, suddenly suffered from many nightmares at night; as soon as he lay down, dreams began, continuing all night long. Later, while traveling to take up an official post, he met Hu Yongzhi, Judicial Commissioner of Dengzhou, on the Han River. They stayed together in a postal station. He mentioned his recent frequent dreams, considering them an ill omen. Hu said, "I once experienced this too, with great fear. A Daoist priest taught me to wear Cinnabar. When I first served as Judicial Commissioner of Chenzhou, I obtained Lingsha (refined Cinnabar) made into double arrowhead shapes. Wearing it, efficacy was seen within ten days; for four or five years, I had no more dreams. I have kept it secret and cherished ever since." He then untied a crimson silk pouch from his hair bun and gave it to him. That very night, the nightmares ceased, and the spirit became tranquil. *Zhen Gao* and other Daoist texts repeatedly record that Cinnabar wards off evil; is this not true? (from *Leibian*).
Placing Shexiang (Moschus) in the pillow can eliminate nightmares (from *Wulei Xianggan Zhi*).
*Suwen* states: Why do some people suffer from Dianji (epilepsy/mental disorder) from birth? How is this known? Qibo replied: This disease is named Tai Bing (fetal disease). It arises when, during gestation, the mother suffers a great fright. The Qi ascends instead of descending, and Jingqi (Essence-Qi) gathers together, causing the child to develop Dianji (from *Yulan*).
How to distinguish between Dian (depressive psychosis) and Kuang (manic psychosis)? The answer is: At the onset of Kuang, there is little sleep, reduced appetite, arrogance, self-aggrandizement, inappropriate laughter, and excessive joy.
Dian patients lose their spiritual hold, speak confusedly; severely, they may climb high places and curse, or run wildly. Xian (epilepsy) patients fall to the ground upon attack, bite their tongues, foam at the mouth, and experience convulsions of hands and feet, sometimes making sounds like six domestic animals, recovering consciousness after a moment. Dian involves pathogenic factors entering Yin meridians; one theory states that Yang excess leads to Kuang; Dian involves pathogenic factors disturbing the Heart. Their prescriptions and medications are also similar.
Generally, those suffering from Dian or Kuang who shout and strike others have Heat in the Heart Meridian. One should use Zhenxin (calming the Heart) medicines combined with Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) to purge for several days, then administer Anshen (calming the Spirit) and Feng (wind-dispelling) medicines. Achieving tranquility constitutes peace and health. Do not use Wenbu (warming and tonifying) medicines just because the patient appears emaciated or has lost appetite; otherwise, the illness will surely recur. Take heed, take heed! Gradually regulate the diet (from *Yulan*).
When a person sleeps, the Hun and Po (ethereal and corporeal souls) wander outside. If oppressed by evil spirits (An), the spirit is constrained. Those with weak constitutions may remain unconscious for a long time, even to the point of Qi exhaustion. Therefore, assistance from bystanders to call out is necessary, along with medical arts. Calling softly and from a distance can bring revival (from *Jifeng Fang*).
