Core Tip

Core Tip: Endocrine-psychiatric comorbidity in metabolic disorders is conceptualised as a bidirectional, self-reinforcing state in which sleep and behavioural feasibility are clinically actionable leverage points that can shape metabolic trajectories. Traditional Chinese medicine is framed as adjunctive, module-targeted care, with pattern phenotyping used pragmatically for stratification rather than as a parallel diagnostic system. Credible integration requires paired metabolic and mental health endpoints, mediator tracking, and structured safety monitoring within an iterative care pathway.
