There is heterogeneity in patients with depression. Many scholars propose that individualization of antidepressant achieves better outcomes. However, the scientific theoretical basis of individualized treatment is still quite weak. Different clinical subtypes of depression and their possible biomarkers are critically needed to provide the individualization with theoretical base. Diagnostic types of major depression disorder (MDD) based on the Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and possible differentiations in neurobiochemistry, metabonomics and neuroimaging could be one of ways to explore the biomarkers and support the theory of the individualized treatment. The hypothesized results will be of help to clarify the biological basis of MDD with LDQS and with DBHS, to provide the TCM with further scientific evidence, to explore the pathogenesis of depression, to improve the objective diagnosis of depression, and to promote targeted interventions by Western medicine, TCM or both.
