Achieving Mental Health with Acupuncture
Mental health is well-being at psychological level. According to World Health Organization (WHO), mental health includes "subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, inter-generational dependence, and self-actualization of one’s intellectual and emotional potential, among others."
Mental illness refers to a wide range of health conditions that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors.
Acupuncture is being increasingly used for the treatment of mental illness. Its efficacy is comparable with, or even better than, some conventional medicines or therapies. In addition, acupuncture is generally safer than medicines.

Acupuncture for Depression Depression Consulting
Depression symptoms can be caused by a specific type of depression disorder or other conditions, such as bipolar disorder and Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Acupuncture has been repeatedly validated as an effective therapy in the treatment of depression. Compared with other approaches, a big advantage of acupuncture lies in that it may also relieve other associated issues, such as excess weight, alcohol or substance abuse, anxiety, panic disorder or social phobia. |
Acupuncture for Anxiety Anxiety
Anxiety symptoms can be caused by a specific type of anxiety disorder or other medical problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, thyroid problems, and irritable bowel syndrome. With acupuncture, in addition to symptom control, personalized protocols will be designed to address different causes of anxiety properly to ensure the whole health is achieved. |
Acupuncture for Addiction Smoking
Addiction refers two types of conditions: substance addictions (for example, alcoholism, drug abuse, and smoking); and process addictions (for example, gambling, spending, shopping, eating, and sexual activity). Acupuncture proves to be very effective in the treatment of alcoholism, drug abuse, smoking, eating, gambling, and sexual addiction. |
