ABSTRACT

Depression belongs to the category of "depression syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine. The etiology of depression is complex, and its occurrence is affected by many factors, such as immunity, psychology, neurobiochemistry, somatic disease, external environment and so on. Each pathogenic factor not only affects each other, but also can induce depression alone. Today, with the surge of social competition pressure, the incidence and recurrence rate of depression at home and abroad have increased. Depression and anxiety have gradually become widespread social psychological diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine plays a unique advantage in the treatment of depression because of its multi-channel, multi-level, multi-target and multi mechanism. This paper aims to summarize the application and research progress of Chaihu Decoction in the treatment of depression through literature review, so as to provide reference for further promoting its clinical research and application.
