[0003] Differential diagnosis and clinical diagnosis and treatment of depression in the elderly and cognitive impairment, The SDS score of GD patients was significantly higher than that of the national norm (P<0.01), the incidence of depression was 19.97%, mainly mild and moderate, and the incidence was related to education level, negative life events and accompanying somatic diseases. The most common symptom is depressive mood, followed by early awakening, work and interest, sleep not deep, general symptoms, and decreased ability. Conclusion: The incidence of GD is high, with unique clinical manifestations and TCM syndrome characteristics, which should be identified in clinical practice.
[0004] Research progress of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of senile depression, Senile depression is a depressive disorder that occurs in people over the age of 55, and a more accurate definition is that the first onset of the disease occurs at the age of 55 or older. Epidemiological surveys have shown that the annual prevalence of senile depression is about 5%, and most of them are accompanied by cognitive impairment, as well as dementia, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc. Compared with young and middle-aged patients, the physical condition of elderly patients has declined, the mechanism is complex, the etiology is more complex, and the outcome is more serious. In addition, social factors are complex, and the aging of the population is increasing, which has led to an increasing trend in the incidence of senile depression. Studies have shown that more than half of senile depression patients have cognitive impairment, which can exacerbate the condition of depression, and the incidence of depression in patients with cognitive impairment is as high as about 44%, both of which interact with each other. Senile depression and cognitive impairment in the elderly belong to the nervous and mental system depression of the elderly.

[0008] Depression is a common disease in psychiatry, which can cause serious harm to human mental health. It is necessary to pay attention to and strengthen the treatment of depression to ensure treatment effect, effectively reduce the patient's depression, improve clinical symptoms, reduce the impact of the disease on daily life, and improve the quality of life. Chinese medicine such as Schisandra chinensis, Chuanxiong, Coptis, bath towel and bergamot has good effect in the treatment of depression, which can play the role of soothing the mind, soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, removing heat and resolving toxins, and improving related clinical symptoms caused by depression. The curative effect is better. Therefore, this paper analyzes the overview of depression, the conventional treatment method and the deficiency of depression, the pathogenesis of depression, the advantages of Chinese medicine in treating depression, and the research progress of Chinese medicine in preventing and treating depression, and discusses the effect of different Chinese medicine in treating depression, hoping to provide reference for the treatment of depression.
[0009] The latest progress of the research on the treatment of depression is disclosed. Depression is a very common mental disease in clinical practice, and its incidence has been rising in recent years. The treatment of this disease is very difficult. The drugs currently used for the treatment of depression mainly include: tricyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, 5-HT and NA reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), NA and NA reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs), and newly discovered new target drugs such as neurosteroids, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase and hormone drugs.
[0010] Clinical manifestations and treatment research progress of patients with anxiety depression are disclosed. Patients with anxiety depression (i.e. patients with depressive symptoms) account for more than half of all patients with depression, and the disease is more serious, chronic and has a high risk of suicide, accompanied by obvious sleep disorders and suicidal behavior, and the treatment is difficult. The use of new antidepressants can significantly relieve the patient's condition, but the initial dose of the drug should be low, and the dose should be increased slowly to avoid causing anxiety symptoms to worsen. Combination of anti-anxiety drugs, new antipsychotic drugs, psychological treatment, etc. can improve the clinical cure rate of patients with anxiety depression. Therefore, a Chinese medicine preparation for preventing and treating insomnia and depression and its production method need to be designed. SUMMARY
