Yes. Acupuncture with herbs, and sometimes massage, can treat and help relieve stress, anxieties and depression. I suggest you try it.
What a wonderful question... Yes! Acupuncture is excellent for anxiety, depression, insomnia and many other mental health disorders. The goal of the treatment is to tonify the QI. (CHI) also known as energy.
Yes, acupuncture can help with anxiety & depression. I have treated patients with PTSD and various stages of anxiety/depression with a very good outcome. Many had tried the usual methods to help with their issues, but could not get the quality of relief acupuncture provided. Definitely check with your primary to see if alternative medicine would be a good choice for you.

I have personally had great success treating both. However, the more medications a patient is on, the slower and sometimes less the results are. Are you medicated for it?
On patients not on pharmaceuticals, my success rate has been very high.

If the anxiety/depression is mild to moderate, yes, acupuncture can be an excellent treatment. In this case, often better than the usual conventional treatment without risk of side-effect or adverse event that often accompanies prescription medication.
If this is a more severe case of anxiety/depression, acupuncture can still help, but you'll want to use acupuncture combined with conventional treatments.
In cases like this it's important to make sure you're seeing a nationally board certified and state licensed acupuncturist. A provider like this will have an L.Ac. or R.Ac. credential issued by the state along with a Dipl Ac or Dipl OM national board certification. To find providers like this near you, go to NCCAOM.org and use their "Find a Practitioner" lookup.
