ResultsAfter the intervention， the HAMD-24 and SDS scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment， the differences were statistically significant （t=8.149， 5.791， 8.016， 3.488， P˂0.01）. And the SDS score of the study group was siginficantly lower than that of the control group （t=-3.008， P<0.05）. The total effective rate of treatment in the study group was higher than that of the control group， and the difference was statistically significant （90.63% vs. 63.33%， χ²=8.725， P˂0.05）.
