ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the assistant effect of modified Morita therapy on depression. Methods 60 outpatients of depression were selected and grouped by registration order,research group (RG) was given antidepressant and Morita therapy,control group (CG) as antidepressant. Scales HAMD and SF-36 were evaluated before treatment and after 12 weeks. Results There was no significant difference on sex,age,marriage,education,scores of HAMD and SF-36 between two groups ( P> 0.05 ). After treatment, HAMD and SF-36 of two groups were improved notably (P<0.01). HAMD(RG7.60±5.76,CG13.70±8.46, P<0. O1) and GH(RG68.13 ±15.77,CG59.00 ± 17.12, P<0.05) ,VT( RG68.83 ± 18.67 ,CG47.17 ± 18.18, P<0. 01 ) ,SF( RG86.23± 18.67,CG77.03 ±12.28, P<0.01) ,RE(RG74.44 ± 35.76,CG51.12 ±41.74, P<0.05) ,MH (RG75.47 ± 16.16, CG61.73 ± 15.75, P< 0.01 ) of SF-36 in research group were improved significantly than those in control group.
