Treating Depression with Traditional Chinese Medicine: Patterns, Formulas, and Acupuncture
Clinical reasoning, case-based thinking, and modern perspectives
Depression presents differently in every patient, and effective treatment requires more than labeling a diagnosis or selecting a single formula. This clinical course explores how Chinese medicine conceptualizes and treats depression through pattern differentiation, formula selection, and acupuncture strategy, with an emphasis on clinical reasoning, prevention of downstream disease, and real-world decision-making.
