Acupuncture For Depression in Walnut Creek


“What Every Person Coping With Depression,
Ought To Know About Acupuncture.”

Depression is a sign that the body is not in balance. Life altering events such as the loss of a loved one, can cause the body to be in a constant state of stress. If stress is not managed, depression can manifest itself in many forms.

Symptoms of depression include:
  • A low mood throughout most of the day that is present from day to day with little change.
  • Clear, diminished interest in many activities that you once enjoyed or the feeling that “nothing is fun anymore”.
  • Significant weight gain or weight loss. Depressed people tend towards extremes and may either not eat due to a lack of interest or overeat as a way to find comfort.
  • Difficult sleeping, especially falling and staying asleep, or in the reverse, sleeping all of the time.
  • A marked decrease in energy levels. Depressed people may yawn excessively and appear as though they are never fully awake.
  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt that have no apparent root and are ongoing.
  • Indecisiveness, with a marked inability to concentrate.
Lower levels of depression can include any number of the above symptoms but with less severity. Before depression gets out of control, acupuncture can help to restore the body to its natural balance. Acupuncture can potentially ward off the need for prescription medications to treat depression.

  1. Acupuncture is most effective and fast acting in treating anxiety and depression when used early in the progression of symptoms. Patients of mine experience reduced anxiety in as little as 30 minutes after treatment.
