Populations using herbs and herbal preparations are widespread and growing. As many herbal ingredients exert actions on psychotropic drug targets, psychiatrists should be well informed and aware of potential drug-drug interactions in clinical practice. Reliable and clinically useful information in this area, however, is fragmented, if not deficient. This paper reviewed the clinical aspects of herb-drug interactions, focusing in particular on the monoamine oxidase enzyme and P450 cytochrome enzyme-inhibitory properties of herbs and their potential interference with psychotropic drug actions and clinical judgement.

服用精神药物和草药补充剂的患者：临床考虑。

使用草药和草药制剂的人群广泛并且在增长。由于许多草药成分会对精神药物靶标产生作用，因此，精神病医生应被充分了解，并应意识到临床实践中潜在的药物相互作用。但是，即使不是不足的地方，在该领域中可靠的和临床有用的信息也是零散的。本文综述了草药间相互作用的临床方面，尤其着重于草药的单胺氧化酶和P450细胞色素酶抑制特性及其对精神药物作用和临床判断的潜在干扰。
