Sir, Kindly tell me Acupuncture points about"Catatonic Depression".Comment by Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.
First, please read "What Does Acupuncture Treat?" - to better understand why there isn't a direct answer to your question. The primary reason for this is that acupuncture does not treat western "conditions", rather it treats diagnostic "patterns". Proper usage of Chinese Medicine generally requires a deep understanding of this diagnostic framework. For a description of some common patterns related to depression see our acupuncture for depression section. In general the points LV 3, HT 7, PC 6 and GV 26 -may- be useful.
