COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Depression is a growing challenge in modern clinical practice and often requires a holistic approach to achieve lasting improvement. This course teaches practitioners how to identify the root causes of depression through Chinese Medicine principles, diagnostic methods, and channel theory. Students will learn to recognize the different ways depression presents, differentiate underlying patterns, and design effective acupuncture treatments to restore balance and vitality.

In addition to acupuncture, this training incorporates **dietary therapy and qigong practices** that can strengthen clinical results and support patients beyond the treatment room. By combining theory with practical application, participants will gain the tools needed to address depression with confidence and help patients move toward greater emotional health and resilience.

Upon completion of this course, practitioners will:

• Identify Chinese Medicine patterns and etiologies underlying depression using diagnostic methods and channel theory.
• Select and apply acupuncture points to effectively treat patients with depression.
• Incorporate dietary therapy and qigong practices to reinforce clinical treatments and promote emotional balance.
• Develop treatment strategies that integrate Chinese Medicine principles to address both the root causes and manifestations of depression.
