Depression, despair, melancholy and other mood disorders are more frequently experienced in our culture than ever before. Occasionally feeling sad or unhappy is a common, natural occurrence for most people; unhappiness can become a more serious mental emotional condition when it turns into a constant sense of sadness and despair. Major depression affects nearly 10% of Canadian population, and three million people annually. 10-25% of women and 5-12% of men will experience clinical depression in their lifetimes. Depression can have a very damaging effect on personal and professional relationships.

Mental depression is experienced in the mind but is often the result of imbalances in the body. Traditional Chinese medicine has developed treatments based on herbs, diet, acupuncture and lifestyle changes to correct the imbalances in the body that are contributing to the symptoms of depression. Chinese medicine has identified several patterns of imbalance in the body that cause depression. Chinese medicine practitioners will make a diagnosis and treat the pattern with a comprehensive holistic approach that includes acupuncture, herbs, diet and lifestyle advice.
