A Combination of Kamishoyosan and Hochuekkito was Affective to Improve Negative Symptoms of a Patient with Schizophrenia, Paranoid Type

Abstract

We experienced a case of paranoid schizophrenia whose negative symptoms such as fatigue and depression were successfully treated with kamishoyosan and hochuekkito. The combination of medical herbal extracts did not affect positive symptoms. Herbal medicine may play not only a supporting role in treating mental disorders in general but also an important role in improving negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
