In western medicine clinical investigation and laboratory work indicate that depression equates with dyes regulation of neurotransmitter signals and can be healed by taking antidepressant drugs with higher relapse rate and face some serious health problems.

Finally, we concluded that practitioners suggesting Chinese\'s acupuncture more fruitful over western medicine.
