In Chinese Medicine, mental disorders arise from an
imbalance that may occur at the level of the internal organs, which
interact with each other and with the brain to maintain appropriate
emotional responses to the outside world. By addressing the organs'
imbalance and their functional relationship as the root cause,
Chinese Medicine aims to correct such underlying imbalance with
acupuncture, herbs, and implementation of lifestyle and dietary
changes.
In the publication "Acupuncture: Review and Analysis of
Reports on Controlled Clinical Trial" in 2003, World Health
Organization is in support of acupuncture as a viable option for those
suffering from mental disorders such as depression and schizophrenia:
"The effect of acupuncture on depression (including
depressive neurosis and depression following stroke) has been
documented repeatedly in controlled studies. Acupuncture is comparable
with amitriptyline in the treatment of depression but has fewer
side-effects…There have also been reports that, in controlled trials of
schizophrenia treatment, acupuncture might have a better effect than
chlorpromazine."
