[0007] In terms of drug treatment for depression, chemically synthesized antidepressants have always dominated the mainstream psychiatric field, but their side effects are always worrying, such as the toxic side effects of tricyclic antidepressants on the heart, and the side effects caused by other chemical drugs. Unresolved issues such as weight change and sexual dysfunction
Traditional heterocyclic antidepressants have a narrow therapeutic index and poor tolerance, which affect drug efficacy and patient compliance; new antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors have relatively fewer side effects and better tolerance, but more expensive
Due to the complex pathogenesis of depression and many causes, it is often difficult for drugs targeting a single link to achieve satisfactory curative effect. In addition, most synthetic antidepressants have defects such as narrow antidepressant spectrum, large side effects, high drug price and easy recurrence. Therefore, the superiority of natural medicines in the treatment of depression is increasingly attracting the attention of scholars at home and abroad.
[0008] At present, there is no relevant literature report on the antidepressant effect of octagonal alcohol
