Suggest Treatment For Depression And Social Anxiety
Hi, my nephew came to live with me here in Colorado. He s 20 yrs old and suffers from depression and social anxiety. He is to the point where I can hardly get him out of the house and he has been on many anti depressants but the ones that did help somewhat caused other side effects he couldn t cope with. He wants to try acupuncture and I would like to know what your take on it would be? All he does is stay in his room and in bed. Really doesn t have any good days anymore and I m worried sick about him.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, he may be a case of chronic depression and in his case, you can try some relaxation technique like JPMR or life style modification technique. That would help you to control underline anxiety disorder and depression. Medicine could help at certain extent in his case, so try these methods If you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
