Acupuncture helps depression

Many research projects have studied the effectiveness of acupuncture for depression, anxiety, and symptoms commonly related to them such as fatigue, insomnia, and panic attacks. The conclusion? Acupuncture is extremely effective. Acupuncture was studied as a stand-alone treatment and in combination with medication. It was found that acupuncture/electro-acupuncture worked as well as Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI's) in stand-alone studies, and found that it actually enhanced the effectiveness of these drugs. Enhancing them meant that the dosages could be reduced, and therefore the associated side-effects.
