Here's a fine article on the Chinese take for treating depression and anxiety.

Chinese Medicine includes two major symptom patterns that are associated with depressed mood changes. One pattern, "liver qi depression," is similar to "agitated depression" in Western psychiatry. The other pattern, "qi vacuity," is similar to "vegetative depressed mood." The Chinese medical system of classification includes many disorders characterized by depressive mood changes. These include, principally, "Frequent Sorrow," and "Withdrawal and Mania." These diagnostic categories in Chinese medicine are similar though not equivalent to Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder,respectively.
