Abstract

Purpose of the review: This narrative review examines the efficacy, mechanisms and safety of mind-body medicine (MBM) in the treatment of depression. We reviewed the potential effects of various MBM interventions such as yoga, tai chi, qigong, mindfulness-based interventions and nutrition on clinical and subthreshold depressive symptoms.

Recent findings: Current studies indicate a growing interest in the use of MBM for psychiatric disorders, including depression. MBM interventions demonstrate efficacy in reducing depressive symptoms with fewer adverse effects and costs compared to pharmacological treatments. MBM has significant potential to improve mental health outcomes for depression. These interventions encourage self-care and stress management through behavioural, exercise, relaxation and nutritional approaches. While existing data are promising, further, more rigorous studies are required to confirm long-term effectiveness and to determine the role of MBM in comprehensive depression treatment strategies.

治疗抑郁症的身心医学：关于疗效、安全性和机制的叙述性综述》。

综述的目的：这篇叙述性综述探讨了身心医学（MBM）治疗抑郁症的疗效、机制和安全性。我们回顾了瑜伽、太极拳、气功、正念干预和营养等各种身心医学干预措施对临床和亚阈值抑郁症状的潜在影响：目前的研究表明，人们对使用正念干预治疗包括抑郁症在内的精神疾病越来越感兴趣。与药物治疗相比，基于正念的干预在减少抑郁症状方面具有疗效，而且不良反应较少，成本较低。多管齐下疗法在改善抑郁症患者的精神健康状况方面具有巨大潜力。这些干预措施通过行为、运动、放松和营养方法鼓励自我保健和压力管理。虽然现有数据很有希望，但还需要进一步开展更严格的研究，以确认其长期有效性，并确定 MBM 在抑郁症综合治疗策略中的作用。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in psychiatry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by psychiatric disorders. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anxiety, medicopsychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
