Acupuncture for depression?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some way to help myself without medication. I am trying to conceive, and I don't feel comfortable taking any of the antidepressants out there. Also, I never responded to any of the dozen or more drugs and combinations that I tried.

I am wondering if anyone has been helped for depression by acupuncture. I just read an article that said acupuncture changes brain chemistry, so it would stand to reason that it might work.

I'll be very interested to hear about any experiences with this.

Thanks everyone and I hope you have a good weekend!

TC

Dear Barb,

Thanks for your message! I will read the articles in the links you posted.

Did anyone on this board have experience treating depression with acupuncture? I would really be interested in hearing about outcomes.

Thanks everyone and have a good Saturday!
