Depression
Depression is a serious illness and people should always see their GP as a first point of call. As part of a plan to deal with depression acupuncture can have a very useful role.
Studies have found that acupuncture can...
- Have a similar effect to counselling.
- Improve the effectiveness of SSRI's
- Help with insomnia related to depression
- Help with pain associated with depression.
- Speed up the effect of SSRI's & Reduce their side effects.
My own experience is that people often find acupuncture to be a brilliant help to getting back on track, and staying there. The most frequent comment I get from people following a course of acupuncture is that they feel more grounded or generally better in themselves.
