Abstract
Anxiety
and depression are highly comorbid psychiatric conditions that the
prevalence will be increased to the second greatest risk of morbidity,
causing a significant socioeconomic burden. Due to side effects and
destructive effects of some chemical drugs, many patients prefer herbal
medicines to treat diseases. Although there are key review papers in the
area of medicinal plants and psychiatry disorders, they have either
covered the area in a relatively cursory manner or focused on a specific
plant medicine. In the present study, we tried to present the effect of
most important medicinal plants on two important highly comorbid
psychiatric conditions-anxiety and depression.
