Summary by author Rico:

In both China and the United States, the ideas about causes and symptoms of depression are similar. China and the United States have similar ways of diagnosis: self-evaluation, and doctor’s evaluation, and some measuring scales are the same. And they both treat depression based on three levels: mild, moderate, and severe, and three kinds of treatments: psychotherapy, medications, and physical therapy. Psychotherapy is popular in China but not widely use like medications in the United States. In both China and the United States, when use medications, doctors also use psychotherapy at the same time. Physical therapies are not the first treatment options in both China and US.
