Abstract

Objectives: This study examined the effects of Gamisachil-tang on an anorexic patient with depression. Methods: A patient suffering from anorexia and depression was treated with Korean herbal medicine (Gamisachil-tang) for 14 days. To evaluate the therapeutic effect, we measured the daily food intake of the patient and used the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for anorexia. Results: Following treatment, both the patient's daily food intake of the patient and VAS score for anorexia had improved. Conclusion: These results suggest that Gamisachil-tang has a beneficial effect on both anorexia and depression.
