Quick Facts:
Here are some tips to help combat depressive symptoms:
- Develop a supportive group of trusted friends, family, and co-workers who can lend an ear and listen to you.
- Breathe, go slow, and think things through. Do not make too many life changes all at once. A few at a time will keep you from feeling overwhelmed.
- Try to get at least twenty minutes of exercise at least three days a week, if not more. Take a daily walk, breathe deeply, and let it all go.
- Remember, you are not alone. Others are having similar experiences.
Depression affects about 121 million people worldwide and can be debilitating for those who experience it. Prolonged feelings of sadness, discouragement and hopelessness greatly affect the quality of life.
At one time or another, most of us experienced some form of depression. It is a healthy response to events in our lives that seem overwhelming. When we are balanced, physically and emotionally, we can easily bounce back from a depressed state and move on with our lives. When negative feelings and emotions become persistent and consistent, depression may set in.
Research published in Journal of Affective Disorders in 2010 covered 207 clinica studies conducted on the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating depressive orders. According to this, the efficacy of acupuncture was comparable to antidepressants alone in improving clinical response and alleviating symptom severity of Major Depressive Disorder. Additionally, the incidence of adverse reactions of acupuncture treatment was significantly lower than that of antidepressants.
How can acupuncture help? Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) incorporate thousands of years of experience in treating depression. Not only can they help to alleviate the signs and symptoms accompanying depression, they can address the root cause(s) and underlying imbalances that have contributed to the problem, safely and naturally. Acupuncturists are aware of the powerful interplay between our body and emotions, and that the two are inseparable. When we experience emotional upset our physiological state may become disrupted. Likewise when we experience physical problems, our emotions can become greatly affected.
