Depression is a mood disorder involving boredom and inactivity or apathy and reluctance andcan affect a person's thoughts, behavior, feelings, happiness and health. People with depressionmay have changes in appetite, changes in sleep patterns, loss of energy, and difficultyconcentrating. Depression is a multigenetic or multifactorial syndrome. Traditional ChineseMedicine (TCM) is a systems medicine and its clinical experience and integrated theory fordiagnosis and treatment provides an alternative method of novel drug discovery in depressiontreatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has historically been used to treat depression uptill today, particularly in Asia. Herb alone, as well as herbal formula, is commonly prescribed forthe therapies of mental illnesses. Since various adverse events of western medication exist, thenumber of people who use herbs to benefit their health is increasing.

Furthermore, wediscuss pharmacological approaches to integrate the mechanism of action from the molecularlevel into the systems level for understanding of systems pharmacology of TCM formulations.Integration of the studies at the molecular level into the systems level not only represents a trendin TCM study but also promotes our understanding of the system-wide mechanism of action ofherbal antidepressant formulations.
