Acupuncture may fight depression as well as drugs
Acupuncture may be as effective in treating depression as popping a pill, according to new MRI studies.
Antidepressants are among the most prescribed medications in the U.S. to treat mild to moderate depression. But functional MRI tests have revealed that acupuncture is as effective as the most-prescribed anti-depressants at helping the brain release dopamine and serotonin, the chemicals that control happiness, and combat depression.
Acupuncture therapists at the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Integrative Medicine, who cited the MRI studies, said acupuncture might be an alternative medicine treatment for someone with mild to moderate depression who is pregnant or no longer wants to rely on pharmaceuticals.
