There are several reasons behind seeking an alternative medication for depression. The primary reason as to why people despise antidepressant is because it has a lot of side effects. Since taking antidepressant during the pregnancy is termed risky for the health of the baby, people often choose to seek alternative medication, as well.
Fortunately, a research suggests that acupuncture could be a viable option to treat depression. Apart from being the alternative medication for depression, according to one of the studies, acupuncture is also said to help treat the medications’ side effects.
Benefits Of Acupuncture
One of the studies suggests that acupuncture may help with one particularly difficult aspect of depression treatment: the sexual side effects of some medications. A twelve weeks of acupuncture helped both men and women with several aspects of sexual functioning.
Acupuncture significantly reduces the drug withdrawal symptoms. Moreover, some of the experts view acupuncture as a safe and potentially effective method of treating depression.
In the case of chronic anxiety and depression, Acupuncture and naturopathic medicine provide excellent strategies and tools for effectively treating both, and for supporting patients in working with their underlying stress.
Many studies have demonstrated the benefit of acupuncture for treating anxiety disorders and there is evidence that acupuncture’s effect is comparable to that of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a type of counseling commonly used for patients with anxiety and depression.
What to Expect When You Take Up Acupuncture?
As said earlier, Acupuncture can be taken alone as a therapy but if the case is chronic, it can be accompanied with a naturopathic care. Initially, the therapy can be as much as 6-10 times weekly. After that time, treatments may be spaced out to once every 2 weeks or continued weekly treatments may be recommended depending on how the treatment is progressing. Over time as patients feel better and better, the time between visits gets longer until eventually patients only come for “tune up” treatments every 3 months to help maintain balance, or as needed when acutely stressful situations arise.
The experience of having acupuncture is pleasant, relaxing and energizing. The needles are hair thin, sterile and generally painless and never used twice. There may be a brief soreness or pulling sensation which means that your qi has connected with the needle.
針灸可治療憂鬱症嗎?
在人們尋求憂鬱症藥物替代治療的背後隱藏了幾個原因。最主要的一個原因，因為抗憂鬱藥物有需多副作用，因此人們對抗憂鬱藥物有所抗拒。也因為在懷孕期間，如果使用抗憂鬱藥物會產生副作用，對寶寶的健康是一種風險的行為，所以人們往往會尋求替代性藥物。值得慶幸的是，研究證明針灸是用來治療憂鬱症的一個可行替代方法。根據另一項研究，針灸除了可以當作治療憂鬱症的一個替代方法外，也可拿來治療服用抗憂鬱藥物後所產生副作用。
針灸的好處
有些藥物治療會導致性功能障礙，然而針灸可解決這個困難的問題。一個12週的完整療程，可以幫助男女雙方解決性功能障礙問題。針灸顯然的漸低了人們對藥物上癮的狀態。此外，依需多專家的觀察表示，針灸的確是一個安全卻又有效的替代治療方法。
在躁症和鬱症的治療上，針灸以及自然療法雙管齊下是最有效的治療方式，可支持病人並同時釋放患者的壓力。而且許多研究已經證實，針灸對於躁症和鬱症的病人治療效果相媲美的認知行為療法（CBT）。
當你使用針灸治療時，該有什麼預期心理？
正如前面所述，針刺可以單獨作為一個治療，但如果情況是慢性的疾病，它可與自然療法一起使用。最初，該療法每週可高達6-10次。經過此時期後，處理可間隔到每2週一次或每週一次，需不需要持續治療可以根據觀察以及病情後須發展來判斷。隨著時間越來越久，而患者的感覺越來越好，直到最後患者僅需要每3個月前來“調補”治療，以幫助保持平衡，或者處理當急性緊張的情況下出現的需要。
有針灸的經驗是愉快、輕鬆和活力的。該針如頭髮一樣細小、無菌，一般而言不痛，並且不會重複插針。有時可能會產生一個短暫的疼痛感或牽拉感，這意味著你的氣血已經與針相連接。
