Pathogenetic and Therapeutic Insights of Depression

Depression has become one of the major diseases that endanger public health and safety. With the march of society, people have become more aware of the dangers of depression, and scientists have made extensive research on depression. Now scientists have put forward some hypotheses recognized widely by the academic world about the pathogenesis of depression, while the exact pathogenesis of depression remains to be studied. Although some clinical treatments for depression have been explored, effective therapies to completely cure depression haven't been found. This thesis mainly concludes the progress of previous research on the symptoms, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatments of depression, and gives a detailed and full introduction of depression. I hope that this paper can provide a multi-faceted knowledge for people who want to understand and do research on depression, and give a reference to future research on depression.
