Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In ancient China, unexplained mental disorders were believed to be caused by blockages of "wind" or qi that needed to flow properly. This concept is based on the traditional Chinese medicine principle that a person's qi, or life force, must flow freely throughout the body in order to maintain good health. Blockages or disruptions in the flow of qi can lead to physical and mental imbalances, including mental disorders.
