英文摘要：

By reviewing the research on immunological changes caused by anxiety disorder, to explore the mechanism that there was an interaction effect between anxiety disorder and immunological changes. Furthermore, combined with an achievement of our own research, some suggestions were given for the development of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） in anxiety disorder that lack of modern research. Firstly, to establish successfully an animal model of anxiety disorder, it should attach importance to learn much from stress medicine. Secondly, during the research, it should pay much attention to the TCM ＂liver＂ and the syndrome of stagnation of the liver qi or other syndromes caused by the syndrome of stagnation of the liver qi, which related closely to the emotional diseases. Thirdly, application of treatment based on syndrome differentiation, a characteristic of TCM, should be adopt in the animal model with combination of disease and syndrome. Fourthly, suitable prescription should be selected, as a strong evidence for an animal model as well as a treatment method for the model. The final point was that some Chinese drugs which had a good effect on immune system as well as anxiety disorder should be particularly considered. In the end, some effective ways and some new thoughts were hoping to be provided for the TCM research of anxiety disorder.
