Core Tip	Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emerges as a promising area for intervention in the face of the global health burden that depression poses. This review scrutinizes the efficacy of TCM in alleviating depression, delving into the intricate mechanisms behind herbal formulations, acupuncture, and mind-body practices. As one of the most prevalent mental disorders worldwide, depression demands innovative approaches, and the integration of complementary and alternative medicine offers a compelling avenue. Through evaluating research studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses, this review not only assesses the current state of TCM in depression management but also its potential for transformative impact, bridging ancient roots with modern resilience.
