Acupuncture and Depression: An Old Answer to an Old Problem
Depressive disorders affect almost 19 million Americans, or 9.5% of the population in any given one-year period and are estimated to cost the workplace over 40 billion dollars . At some point in their lives, 10%-25% of women and 5%-12% of men are likely to become clinically depressed. Even when depression is sub-clinical, the body's immune system is compromised and the symptoms reduce functioning and impair work performance and social relationships. Common symptoms of depressive disorders include: a decreased interest in most activities, insomnia, fatigue, and feeling empty and worthless. When depression is at its worst, hopelessness sets in and suicide becomes a desperate option for approximately 15% of people who suffer from severe depressive disorders.

There are many different types of acne treatments available, and one that tends to go unnoticed is treatment. Results can be varying when undergoing treatment though.Many studies have been done on the subject, and the basic results seem to show that when treatment is used, the best results are obtained when it is combined with another type of acne treatment.For instance, many studies have shown their highest success of treatment for acne to be in those patients who also made lifestyle and diet changes, as well.There are many different reasons a doctor may recommend treatment. Some patients can't, or don't want to, take medications. Some patients do not like the idea of undergoing surgery or laser treatment. In many of these cases, the doctor will look to as an alternative. When they recommend this, they may have to send the patient to another doctor, or they may be licensed to perform this treatment themselves.If treatment is performed, it will involve electro or auricular acupuncture. Auricular is applied to the ear. The only problem with evaluating whether treatment is generally a successful or not, is that there are far too few structured studies to average results from.From the few studies done, treatment has been shown to have positive results in reducing the symptoms of acne.While it may not be guaranteed to work, the benefit of trying acupuncture, as opposed to topical creams, ingestible medicines, or surgery, is that rarely will there be any negative side effects.The two minor drawbacks to treatment for acne are that it can be costly (with no guarantee) and that some people fear the pain or general usage of needles.To read more about acne treatments that work, please visit our website: http://www.acne-treatments-that-work.com/.
