Has anyone have information about Chinese alternative treatment for depression?

Depression as a term is not in the Chinese medicine terminology as such – what Chinese medicine will endeavour to do is promote movement of energy (QI) and restore balance – this may sound airy fairy – but the results are amazing – the practitioner could incorporate a combination of Acupuncture , Chinese herbal medicine (either raw plants or in powder format ) and if they know – they will include auricular acupuncture (Ear acupuncture) which is of major benefit for those will "Shen"- conscious/mind disruptions . it is hard to explain an exact treatment protocol which would be followed since , all humans are different and at different stages or phases or illness – some people would need tonification of the body , that is if they are lacking something . Or sedation or reeducation if there is too much of something. or thirdly they may just need movement of there stagnation / blockages . An example of blockage is when a headache or tightness in the chest is present , unblocking this will relieve the symptoms.
i would try the treatment of Chinese medicine, but remember NO – practitioner will stop your western medication, if you are presently on any – (maybe if they are your consulting doctor also ) getting off western medication is only the second phase -

Some counselling will also be of benefit- no one treatment can cover all aspects
