| May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Did you know that mental health problems are common? In the United States, they affect about one-fourth of adults in any given year. Researchers are investigating complementary and integrative health approaches for a variety of mental health problems. Some complementary health approaches, such as relaxation techniques and music, may help to relieve anxiety during stressful situations. There is evidence that acupuncture, music-based interventions, and yoga may help with depression. Light therapy may be useful as a preventive treatment for people with a history of seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression that comes and goes with the seasons. |
