The Etiology and Pathogenesis of Depression

Depression is a common psychological mental disease. It is distinguished by high morbidity,recurrence rate and high disability rate by suicide in the clinical field which brings serious threat to human health. But the etiology and the mechanism of the disease has not been very clear at the moment. According to the understanding of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and years of clinical practice,this thesis has sought the etiology and pathogenesis of depression. We considered the weakness of visceral-qi and failure of sentiment as the pathogenesis of depression.The obstruction of the circulation of vital energy,suffering from anemia and the decadence of the body and the spirit are thought to be the features of the pathology. The stagnation of liver-QI with deficiency of the spleen and lack of preservation of spirit are believed to be the main pathogenesis of depression.
