Depressive-syndrome is a disorder due to emotional upsets and stagnation of qi, manifested as mental depression, susceptibility to anger and crying, hypochondriac pain, obstructive sensation in the throat, insomnia, etc. For cases of neurasthenia, hysteria, climacteric syndrome and some of the reactive psychoses in modern medicine, the syndrome differentiation and treatment mentioned in this section may be adopted.
Most people who've undergone acupuncture know how relaxing it can be. Acupuncturists believe that feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress are caused by energy that is stuck, constrained, or inhibited in the chest. Acupuncturists call this "Liver Qi Stagnation". This does not suggest any kind of liver disease. It means that we have reacted to stress or loss by tightening in the chest. This is considered by acupuncturists to be a physical condition, treatable with acupuncture, exercise, massage, and other physical means. Depression or a loss of the feeling of well being is usually the first sign of Liver Qi Stagnation.
