Abstract
Depression is a common affective psychiatric disorder that not only affects the daily life of patients, but also leads to death by suicide in severe cases, and it is worth noting that there is a trend of younger people suffering from the disease. The etiology of depression is complex and the pathogenesis is still unclear. It has been found that intestinal flora plays an important role in the interaction between the intestine and the brain, and intestinal flora has received wide attention in the pathogenesis of depression. In recent years, the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) methods for the treatment of depression has been effective. And the advantages of less side effects compared with western medicine show the outstanding advantages of TCM treatment. This review mainly summarizes the improvement of intestinal flora by some single and compound herbal medicines, acupuncture therapy, moxibustion and other TCM specialties, and discusses the progress and possibilities of TCM antidepressant treatment related to intestinal flora by investigating the relevant literature in recent years, to provide a theoretical basis for in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis of depression and the scientific connotation of antidepressant therapy with TCM.
