I developed anxiety neurosis because I was worried about my family.
symptom
Following the sudden death of a friend and family discord, I have been experiencing physical and mental health problems for the past six months. My main symptoms include stomach upset, general fatigue, stiff shoulders, and lower back pain, all of which are constant. These symptoms have reduced my motivation for all aspects of daily life, making everything feel like a chore. I also have a loss of appetite, and I am currently receiving treatment with herbal medicine at the hospital.

Treatment and progress
Initial examination revealed generalized muscle tension, with particularly pronounced stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and back. Poor posture was also observed. Treatment focused on acupressure points in the feet, back, and buttocks. After the first treatment, temporary fatigue occurred, but overall symptom relief was achieved. Subsequent treatments were continued, focusing on areas with limited movement according to the patient's condition. Over five treatment sessions, symptoms gradually improved.
Acupressure points used
Summary
This is an example of acupuncture treatment for psychosomatic symptoms stemming from mental health issues. The treatment, aimed at relieving systemic muscle tension, resulted in improvement of physical symptoms. Notably, the practitioner's consistent and clear demonstration of a supportive, collaborative approach played a crucial role in the patient's psychological well-being. This suggests that, in addition to technical approaches, continuous psychological support is essential for patients with mental health problems.
