Acupuncture for Fighting Depression
|
Women have a much harder time with depression symptoms than their male counterparts. Depression hits them for more reasons and during times when they cannot always do something about it. That includes when they are pregnant. A pregnant woman, whose hormones levels are going off in all directions, cannot take antidepressants for fear it many have a detrimental effect on the baby that is growing inside of them.
There are many non-believers in the scientific and medical fields who do not see how acupuncture can do anything to help those who suffer from depression, but studies are turning up with very different results. Studies have shown that since acupuncture in itself is a relaxing treatment it leads the way in alternative medicine helping to deal with depression.
Depression is something that way too many people fight daily and if there is a way to treat it without the use of unending antidepressants, antipsychotics and mood enhancers than that is a method many people are looking for. One method presented to them for this purpose has been acupuncture.
Studies have shown that after a routine of several weeks of acupuncture sessions to treat depression that sixty six percent of those women treated felt better and functioned better after treatment. Follow up visits showed that they dealt better with their daily lives and the people in it.
Other studies conducted specifically on women suffering from major depressive episodes showed that sixty four percent of them had relief from the symptoms that they had to deal at least as successfully as when they took medication or sought counseling. These were very encouraging results for patients who are tired of using medication and are looking for an alternative that is a little more natural to try to ease their symptoms and help improve their ability to lead a more normalized existence. Many have been surprised at what a good alternative acupuncture has turned out to be.
Depression is not just the day to day problem of a person suffering a chemical imbalance. It can also be a problem suffered by women who are pregnant. Firstly because many women who suffer from depression do have children, but as well being pregnant with the rampant hormonal changes can cause a bout of depression for someone who normally does not suffer from this serious condition.
Studies conducted on pregnant women showed almost the same results as the others, with sixty nine percent of them responding to the treatment successfully. This was after only twelve sessions. One of the reasons the improvements were so noticeable was that the women did not have a return of symptoms by as late as ten weeks after delivery.
This means that women who suffer from depression during pregnancy have an alternative that was not open to them before. They can be treated with acupuncture and feel better and they can do this without fearing that what they do to improve their health will have any adverse effects on the health of their unborn child. |
