郁脉多沉伏，或结促，或沉涩。郁在肝肾见于左，郁在心脾见于右。气血食积痰饮，一有留滞，脉必止涩，
但须有神，有神有胃气也。郁脉虽沉伏结促，有气可散，气通则和。若牢革弦不和，正气先伤，无气可散，即
调补难效，况误行耗气药乎！所以郁症得弦强脉者，多成虚损。（《医通》）

The pulse in cases of depression (Yu syndrome) is mostly deep and hidden, or presents as knotted (Jie), hurried (Cu), or deep and choppy. Depression involving the Liver and Kidneys manifests on the left side of the pulse; depression involving the Heart and Spleen manifests on the right side. Whether due to Qi stagnation, Blood stasis, Food retention, or Phlegm-fluids, if there is any stagnation within, the pulse will inevitably exhibit a stopping and choppy quality. However, it is essential that the pulse possesses "Shen" (Spirit/Vitality), which indicates the presence of Stomach Qi. Although the pulse in depression may be deep, hidden, knotted, or hurried, as long as Qi is present, it can be dispersed; once Qi flows freely, harmony is restored. If the pulse is firm, leathery, wiry, and discordant, it signifies that the Righteous Qi has been damaged first. In such cases, there is no Qi left to disperse, and even tonification and regulation are difficult to achieve efficacy, let alone the misuse of drugs that consume Qi! Therefore, patients with depression presenting a wiry and strong pulse often develop into deficiency consumptive diseases. (From *Yi Tong*)
