This paper discussed the therapy and syndrome of chest obstruction due to depression. Chest obstruction could be classified as the types of depression-related and depression-unrelated. Long before the modern medicine knowledge of cardiac neurosis and depression and anxiety disorders which show the symptoms of chest pain,chest congestion and shortness of breath,traditional Chinese medicine has already formed its own system of diagnosis and treatment of chest obstruction due to depression syndrome. This kind of chest obstruction is caused and influenced by emotional changes. Although the main symptoms of chest obstruction due to depression syndrome seem similar to chest obstruction of organic heart disease(type of depression-unrelated),there are inherent distinctions between two types in the aspects of degree,manifestations,lasting time,major and accompanied symptoms and the reactions to depression- relieving treatment and so on.
