If you're experiencing depression — especially moderate to severe symptoms — connecting with a mental health professional or your primary care provider is the most important first step. Acupuncture is best understood as a supportive complement to that care, not a replacement for it. If you're already working with a therapist or doctor, or if your symptoms are mild and you're looking for additional support, acupuncture may be worth exploring as part of your overall plan. If you're in crisis or having thoughts of harming yourself, please reach out to a mental health professional or contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.
