Core Tip	This study, involving 180 patients with hypertension and comorbid depression, compared the clinical efficacy of two management strategies: Conventional antihypertensive therapy combined with paroxetine vs the same regimen supplemented by psychological intervention. Comparative analyses revealed that the combination of conventional antihypertensive therapy, paroxetine, and psychological intervention was associated with significantly improved short-term outcomes in this patient population, providing valuable insights for optimizing clinical management.
