Depression is a common mental disorders, severe cases may affect people's lives. In the treatment of de-pression, appropriate medication, as an assistant approach to psychological support, is proved helpful to patients' re-covery. Western medicine's ingredients are simple and mechanism is clear. Given it meets parts of the demand, the total effect is not satisfactory yet. Traditional Medicine's advantage is systematic, it has advantage in treating complex diseases. Thus, more and more attention was paid to Traditional Medicine, especially Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In this paper, we use patent as data source to discover the law of the TCM's usage, the international differ-ences, the outstanding organization, and the hotspots of the drug research in the treatment of depression. Profiling of the current status can provide references in new drug finding and the progress of pharmacy. The results show that there are a few traditional Chinese medicine patents about treatment of depression associated with kidney, but de-pression and kidney also have a higher correlation. Medicines within soothing liver formulas such as Xiaoyaosan have many related patent.
