This paper discussed the therapy and syndromes of fatigue due to depression syndrome. Ancient literatures of traditional Chinese medicine had realized early that in addition to physical tiredness,the fatigue manifestations include mental fatigue and energy deficiency,which can be taken as the representation form of depression syndrome. Fatigue due to depression syndrome seems to be caused by the deficiency of qi and blood,but actually result from emotional factors,such as sadness,over-thinking,depression and so on. Heart controls mental activities,so overworked mind can lead to fatigue. Liver controls conveyance and dispersion and is the root of physical stamina. Spleen governs the limbs and muscle,thoughtfulness can influence spleen’s function of transforming the essence of food and water. So the treatments for fatigue due to depression syndrome,include drug and/or non-drug therapy,should pay attention to the significance of regulation of the mind and spirit.
