Acupuncture For Anxiety

Dr. Michael here!

Anxiety is the most common mental health issue in the United States. About 40 million American adults, which is 18% of our adult population, suffer with anxiety. Yet only one-third of people suffering from anxiety seek treatment.

There are many types of anxiety disorders. Chronic stress plays a big role in the development of social anxiety, generalized anxiety, and panic disorder. Anxiety commonly occurs along with other mental health conditions. Roughly one-half of people diagnosed with depression also have anxiety.

Anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medications are commonly prescribed for anxiety sufferers, often with unwanted side effects. The good news is that there are proven holistic treatment options for anxiety. Acupuncture is especially good at calming a person’s mind, emotions, and spirit, and reducing anxiety. Acupuncture works so well because it does not treat anxiety as a symptom. Acupuncture treats the root cause of anxiety for each individual.

Two-thirds of Americans with anxiety disorders do not seek treatment. Anxiety causes fear and getting help itself can be a scary process. If you or someone you love is suffering from anxiety, the key to feeling better is to seek treatment. Don’t let anxiety control your life. By dealing with anxiety, you can regain control over it.
