It affects not only the quality of life of the person who is depressed, but of that person's friends and family members. Fortunately, a variety of methods are available to help treat people afflicted with depression. In a recently published study, scientists at the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine compared the efficacy of electroacupuncture in the treatment of mental depression with a well-known antidepressant, and found that electroacupuncture was more effective, while producing fewer side-effects.
