    Acupuncture can treat anxiety disorders. By stimulating acupuncture points, the muscles of the human body can be relaxed and have a soothing and calming effect, so it has a certain effect on anxiety disorders. However, the effect of acupuncture is relatively slow. For patients with mild anxiety disorder, acupuncture may have a good effect.

    For patients with long-term severe anxiety, it may be difficult to achieve good results with acupuncture treatment alone. Therefore, it is recommended that patients go to a mental health center for treatment and take regular Western medicine treatment. Acupuncture can be used for auxiliary treatment, or it can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine for comprehensive treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can improve the side effects of Western medicine, such as dry mouth, constipation, and fatigue. Comprehensive treatment can achieve better results.
