چکیده
Methods In the first pilot, in addition to routine CM treatment (herbal and acupuncture), CM Practitioners also provided general psychological counseling, advice on dietary regime and self-administered acupressure based on syndrome differentiation for dysthymia. The Centre on Behavioral Health at the University of Hong Kong was commissioned in the second phase to develop a tailormade I-BMS intervention program with CM concepts. The Centre provided six 3-hours sessions of I-BMS intervention for dysthymia patients recruited. Evaluation included validated questionnaires like the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI-18) for pre-post comparison of clinical outcomes.
