Recently I’ve seen some very moving results treating clients with depression.
One man in his seventies had lived with severe depression for seven years and was on the highest dose of medication. At first his family had to persuade him to come, but by his third treatment the change was remarkable. He was calmer, able to talk with others, and even attended a family event. He now comes willingly because he feels the difference.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, depression is seen as a disturbance of the 神 - Shen (spirit). When the Shen doesn’t feel settled, we can feel low or disconnected. Acupuncture and healing help create a harmonious environment for the Shen to return, which often brings a sense of calm, balance, and relief.
It’s always a privilege to witness these shifts, whether it’s improved mood, more energy, or even moments of laughter after years of heaviness.
