ABSTRACT
At present, selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and 5-HT and noradrenaline (NA) re-uptake inhibitors ( SNaRI) are the first choice for the clinical treatment of depression, however, the clinical adverse effects of the drugs have become a prominent problem affecting the clinical efficacy. Chinese medicines have some experience in the treatment of depres-sion, and the combined use with the above antidepressants can enhance the efficacy and / or reduce the adverse effects. The article re-viewed the status of the combination of SSRIs and Chinese medicines in order to provide reference for the clinical treatment of depres-sion.
