Abstract：Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease related to allergies.Because its skin lesions often spread all over the body and cause unbearable itching,it is often accompanied by psychological disorders of different degrees.Among them,depressive disorder is closely related to it.The concurrent occurrence of the two usually aggravates clinical symptoms and prolongs the course of the disease.Existing studies have shown that atopic dermatitis and depressive disorder may share common pathological bases in aspects such as genetic susceptibility,immune-inflammatory response,dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system,and imbalance of the intestinal flora.Many active components of Chinese materia medica can play a therapeutic role in atopic dermatitis and depressive disorder by regulating the immune-inflammatory response,the neuroendocrine system,and the intestinal flora.Traditional Chinese medicine characteristic external treatment methods,such as acupuncture,pricking-cupping therapy,moxibustion,and Tuina,have also been applied in the treatment of them.There are 55 references.
