Abstract:
Depression is a common mood disorder, with a high incidence and prevalence, while the overall diagnosis and treatment rate are low.Even if patients attained the initial clinical cure, there is still a high risk of depression recurrence, of which a great part may turn into self-mutilation or even suicide.Taking antidepressants as the most preferred treatment of moderate and major depression is recommended by almost all clinical treatment guidelines at home and abroad currently.At the same time, the concept of depression treatment is changing gradually from the initial single-mode drug therapy for symptom control to a comprehensive, individualized, quantitative treatment model. Promising psychological treatment, physical therapy and other alternative and complementary treatments are developing quickly.
