Before the treatment，there were significant differences in scores of anxiety，inferiority，depression and social withdrawal in two groups compared with those of national norm（P<0.05）；but there was no difference in the scores mentioned above between two groups（P >0.05）. After the treatment，there was no significant differences in scores of anxiety，inferiority，depression and social withdrawal in two groups compared with those of national norm（P >0.05）；but there were differences in scores between experiment group and control group except for the scores of depression and social withdrawal（P<0.05）. Conclusions：Efficacy of psychological intervention combined with Xiaoyao pills in the treatment of liver depression induced irregular menstruation in nursing students in internship is better than that of Xiaoyao pills.
