Patients were randomly divided into two groups: ASDZD(treatment group, n=39)and DZXYP(control group, n=39). Hamilton Depressive Scale and TCM Syndrome Differentiation Scale were used to assess depression and efficacy before treatment and 2, 4, and 6 weeks after treatment.The Treatment Emergent Symptoms Scale(TESS)was used to evaluate adverse reactions, observe,and record treatment outcomes.RESULTS: ASDZD was significantly more effective than DZXYP. There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of recovered patients, overall response rate, and TESS score(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: ASDZD is an effective treatment for depression. ASDZD could improve clinical symptoms and warrants further clinical research and application.展开更多
