Acupuncture for Depression and Anxiety
Addressing depression and anxiety is crucial, especially in today’s challenging times.
While the traditional biomedical model of depression has limitations and antidepressant efficacy is debatable, holistic multidisciplinary care can aid in management and recovery.
Acupuncture is emerging as a promising alternative. Research suggests that acupuncture can provide relief from depression symptoms, offering benefits comparable to medication but without the side effects or dependency issues.
Acupuncturists tailor treatments to address specific aspects of depression, both physical and mental, providing a multifaceted approach to support. Acupuncture is also recognised for helping with antidepressant withdrawal symptoms, offering potential relief.
