Both groups received the same drug treatment, average dosage: in experiment group fluoxetine 20～30mg/d (9 cases), Amitriptyline 75～150mg/d(8 case), Alprazolam 1.6～ 2.8mg/d(13 cases), received the health education and supportive therapy for 38 to 60 days in addition to drug treatment. In control group, fluoxetine 20～30mg/d(11 case), Amitriptyline 75～200mg/d(5 cases), Alprazolam 1.2～2.8mg/d(10 cases) were used. The Symptom Checklist 90 was used for assessment before and after treatment and cure rate was evaluated by clinical standard at discharge in both groups. Results: Cure rate was higher in the experimental group (94%) than control group (71%, P<0.05).
