Life is a long marathon. Rugged, winding roads, changing weather conditions, our companions, and dependencies can cause our energy to deteriorate and cause us to pause from time to time. We may need to be refreshed, re-energized, freed from addictions, and clearing our thinking. We should renew at the points where our energy and desire to progress decrease, calm down when we are worried about the future, turn our face again to the path we have walked on at the points where we are stuck in the past, and harmonize with those around us.
When we find it difficult to do these things ourselves, we need support. Chemicals secreted from our brain and body regulate our psychology. Balancing body energy is possible by regulating body chemistry. In psychological diseases, the release of happy chemicals called serotonin, relaxing chemicals called endorphins, energizing chemicals and stress chemicals change. Psychologically effective drugs, psychotherapy and acupuncture are treatment methods that can be applied separately or together, depending on the severity of the disease. Medications have side effects, long-term use, or addictive effects. Psychotherapy is costly and long-term. Acupuncture is a scientific treatment method approved by the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health in our country for its effectiveness in the treatment of psychological diseases. There are many scientific studies that have been and are being made on acupuncture. There are “Acupuncture Treatment and Research Departments” in some medical faculties all over the world and in our country. Acupuncture is a fast-acting, low-cost and permanent treatment. As with many physical diseases, it is also effective in the treatment of mild and moderate psychological problems. Acupuncture allows the body to regulate its own chemistry without the use of drugs. The needles used stimulate special points in the body and secrete the necessary chemicals to improve our psychology and increase our energy. This treatment has no side effects because the body secretes the substance it needs as much as it needs. If it is less, it increases, if it is more, it decreases. Since no drugs are used, drug side effects are not observed. Drug addiction does not occur. Since it is a balance therapy, after a while – a cure takes at least 6 sessions – body chemicals are balanced. While 6 sessions may be sufficient for temporary psychological disorders, the duration of treatment is at least 12 sessions for long-term disorders.
