Every year, 75% of suicide deaths are caused by depression. Additionally, several sickbay records show that there are more than ten patients that come to the hospital for check up due to anxiety. Psychiatrists also declare that psychological disorders can be triggered by depression. These statistics are truly alarming, and this makes depression a serious threat. In dealing with anxiety, one must consider some alternative treatments.

There are basically a lot of options to choose from. All of these do not require the use of chemicals that can endanger one’s life.

Although depression can be mild, it is highly complex in nature, and one that should not be taken lightly. If one is feeling the symptoms of depression for longer than two weeks, speaking to a doctor or online doctor and/or setting up an online medical consultation and/or appointment is recommended.

Question by Kelly: How does acupuncture work especially in the ear?
I skimmed a little bit on acupuncture. I am really considering doing it! However my therapist mentioned her co worker that is a therapist too may do one too. She and I both want it! I do have depression/anxiety, and lower back pain. I am really hoping this can help me! I am wondering, how far in the ear do they go if they do? It won’t puncture the ear drum or anything right? I hear the needles are very tiny and you won’t feel too much and no scars . Oh, my back pain is from scoliosis as well.

Silly, but can it help with osteoporosis? That would be nice! lol I know it may not but who knows! I know after you have it done though you need to take it easy that day.
