Abstract:
Prevalence of ulcerative colitis(UC)accompanied by anxiety and depression continues to rise,with mechanisms closely linked to brain-gut-microbiota axis dysregulation and inflammatory responses.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)theory posits that the core pathogenesis lies in"liver depression and spleen deficiency".TCM treatment demonstrates potential in alleviating UC with anx-iety and depression through its characteristic advantages of"holistic regulation and mind-body co-treatment".This article elucidates the pathogenesis from both Western medicine and TCM perspectives and reviews research progress on TCM interventions,aiming to pro-vide a theoretical basis for precise UC diagnosis/treatment and multidisciplinary intervention strategies.
