The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of family therapy on brain computed tomography (CT) information in unipolar depression patients. In this study, 35 cases of unipolar depression patients who visited xxx hospital from March 2017 to August 2019 but received no systematic treatment were taken as the study subjects. CT scan was used to detect and compare the CT values of left frontal lobe, right frontal lobe, left temporal lobe and right temporal lobe of patients with depression before and three months after family treatment. Patients’ levels of depression and anxiety before and after treatment were determined by Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). The cognitive function of patients before and after treatment was evaluated by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The physical and social function, and mental health of them were assessed by health status questionnaire (SF-36). The correlation between CT values of each lobe and clinical characteristics of patients was analyzed by multivariate linear regression model. The results showed that the CT values and SF-36 scores of the left and right frontal lobe after treatment were significantly higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05), while the HAMD MMSE scores were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05). The linear-regression analysis results showed that CT values of the left frontal lobe were negatively correlated with the patient’s age and disease course (P < 0.05), and CT values of the right frontal lobe were negatively correlated with the patient’s age (P < 0.05), and CT values of the left temporal lobe were negatively correlated with the patient’s disease course (P < 0.05). It indicates that the pathogenesis of depression is related to the function of brain structure. However, the social ability of unipolar depression patients and their emotional depression and psychological state can be effectively improved by family therapy, which also has a significant effect on the recovery of the disease.
