论柴胡在抑郁症治疗中的应用

Application of Bupleurum chinense in the treatment of depression

抑郁症为较常见的精神类疾病,近年来中医在抑郁症的治疗上凸显出了自身的优势,疏肝解郁为抑郁症的常用治疗方法,柴胡为疏肝解郁的常用药物,但并非所有抑郁症均适用。再者抑郁症与中医郁病的关系,很多学者认为抑郁症即为中医的郁病,并依据郁病的分型进行治疗,文章认为抑郁症只是郁病的部分症状或郁病某一证候的发展阶段,而柴胡也只是适用于抑郁症病位在肝者。

Depression is a common mental illness.In recent years,Chinese medicine has highlighted its own advantage in the treatment of depression.Regulating the liver-qi is commonly used in the treatment of depression.Bupleurum chinense is a commonly used drug for regulating the liver-qi,but not all depression is applicable.Furthermore,many scholars believe that depression is yu disease,and treatment is based on syndrome differentiation,depression is a part of symptoms in the yu disease or a syndrome type in the development stage,and Bupleurum chinense is only applicable to depression which the disease location is in liver.
