How many acupuncture sessions would I need for depression?

There's no universal answer — it depends on the individual, the severity of symptoms, and how acupuncture is being used within a broader treatment plan. The research points toward a dose-response relationship: a 2019 systematic review published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine found a significant correlation between the number of sessions and the degree of symptom reduction, with most clinical trials running 8–12 weeks of regular treatment. At Olo, we typically recommend starting with a short series of sessions and reassessing from there, rather than committing to a long course upfront.
