Abstract

By reviewing the relevant literatures such as China Knowledge Network, Chinese Pharmacopoeia and Chinese Medicine Ministry Standards, this paper summarizes the current status and characteristics of Chinese medicine treatment of depression, and finds that Chinese medicine has an absolute advantage in the treatment of depression. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of treating depression. Traditional Chinese medicine treats depression through a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. The side effects of Chinese medicine are small, the damage is small, and the promotion prospect is good. However, the current research on the treatment of depression in traditional Chinese medicine is relatively one-sided, and the known regulatory mechanism is relatively simple. Further research is needed on the regulatory mechanisms and compatibility rules, with a view to being widely used clinically.
