I am so confused about deciding which doctor I should go for all my health care. Conventional Doctor seems to give me a diagnostic right away, and prescribe me medication. I was told it is a money making scam. But in some care, you do need these meds. Then, there are Holistic natural medicine, usually they are not MD, but like acupuncture or massage therapist where you would go see them on regular basis regardless of sick. or when you get sick, is it too late to go see them? They usually gives you herb medicine. It cost like $90 each time you go see them, may be twice a week. Conventional doctor would cost you about the same, but once a month or only once. They would gives you a quick fix, powerful medicine that has a lot of side affect. A lot of them just treat the symptoms. I am so confused what is the truth and who do I really need to go see. Like anxiety, depression, flue, virus, infection, allergy, just any disease…..who for what?

Yoga balances and acupuncture cures. You must also try to understand other explanations of depression . The spiritual explanation says that depression is caused by a spirit that is attached to one´s aura. The spirit is someone that died …

Here’s a little background info that you’d need to answer my question… before you comment, make sure you read all of this and don’t skip over any details, because I don’t feel like dealing with people who don’t take the time to truly “listen”… I’M ONLY LOOKING FOR HELP AND ADVICE FROM PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE. ALL OTHER ANSWERS WILL BE IGNORED OR GIVEN A POOR RATING.

For a while now I’ve been under extreme psychological stress and depression– the significant stress, “ungroundedness”, and instability of my life (which I have little control over) has triggered my depressive tendencies. There’s lots more to tell here… I have a disposition to become depressed due to the environment that I was raised in and the genetic dispositions that I inherited and were nutured within me. I have lots of threatening financial stressors, debts, and home stressors. Furthermore, I come from a very ungrounded background where my parents were very very unstable, inconsistent with their nurturing and emotional states, unpredictable, angry and hormonal/unbalanced mother, emotionally repressed and unavailable father, emotional abuse, my self-esteem was ripped away from me. If it wasn’t for many years of counseling I would have a horrible self-esteem right now– I am still in counseling. My mom had a heart attack at 45 and has diabetes, my dad is hypothyroid and pre-diabetes (my parent’s diabetes is mainly due to their extremely poor diet and lack of exercise). So for years with this upbringing my disposition when under stress has been: depression/irritability, high blood pressure (I’m only 22), feelings of loneliness/emptiness, trouble thinking straight, mild digestive issues (gas/loose stools), trouble getting to sleep, apathy, tension in my shoulders/jaws. Furthermore I even smoked weed for a while and ignorantly took too many yang tonics for over a year and a half like Chinese/korean ginseng, suma, maca, rhodiola, ginger, etc which drained my yin, I have a significantly diminished sense of reality and sense of self. The dreamlike feeling is a very defunct and unsettling feeling. All this has led me to learn more about my condition… I’ve read much literature on ayurvedic medicine, chiropractic medicine, general naturopathic medicine, homeopathic medicine, and last but not least TCM or traditional Chinese medicine; TCM and Chiropractic being most effective so far after having myriads of acupuncture treatments in the past and Chiropractic adjustments on my neck, shoulder, pelvis, back, and hips.

My husband and I have been trying to get pregannt for 5 years. I got pregnant 2 years ago and had an early miscarriage. This spring I started acupuncture and got pregnant 2 months later, but also had an early miscarriage.
This month I was SURE I was pregnant. Had all the signs in the book, but I’m not. I had a total meltdown the morning I started my period and I am now to the point that I can’t even think about trying again this month.

I used to be optimistic but I have pretty much lost all hope and don’t know where to go from here. I am falling into depression and can’t even look at babies or pregnant women.

I’m considering trying a low-dose selective serotonin reputake inhibitor for anxiety and depression. (I’ve already tried several non-drug methods, including acupuncture, meditation, exercise, chiropractic, and change in my diet, but nothing’s helping as much as I’d like).

I know all SSRIs are known for causing negative “sexual side effects” in some people who use them. However, since there are currently seven SSRIs on the market — Celexa, Lexapro, Luvox, Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, plus dapoxetine (no brand name) — and since each is slightly different in chemical makeup, I assume there are probably some that are LESS likely to cause sexual side effects than others are.

Acupuncture : Acupuncture For Depression |

i see a natural path doctor for a few issues i have.. some anxiety and depression.
my doctor has given me the option of having acupuncture done.
he told me about it a little bit, showed me some of the needles he will use. he told me that it will probably help me to feel better in some areas, but im very nervous.
i am quite afraid of needles, no matter the size.
i also have a HUGE imagination, and i don’t like the though of needles going into my skin. it just makes me nervous.
so i was wondering if anyone knew anything else about acupuncture that they could share with me?

anything AT ALL would be helpful.
