Depression is a mood disorder characterized by both physical and psychological symptoms that can be detrimental to one's normal daily functioning. Depressed individuals often suffer from poor sleeping habits, crying spells, anxiety, worry, poor memory, inability to concentrate, body aches, stomach disturbances and a lack of interest in activities previously enjoyed.
Modern medicine typically treats depression with psychotherapy and/or anti-depressant drugs. In Chinese medicine, depression is viewed as an imbalance in the body's energy system, and treatment is personalized to each individual's specific symptoms and constitution.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer a safe, effective, and drug-free approach to treating depression. The treatment addresses underlying imbalances rather than just masking symptoms.
