Q How often do I need to come to Dongjedang for anxiety disorder?
A For the first month, visits are about every 2 weeks, then adjusted to once a month after stabilization, with acupuncture added depending on the situation.
Detailed Answer
For Korean medicine treatment of anxiety disorder, it is important to closely monitor early symptom changes. In the first month, you visit every 2 weeks to check the response to the prescription and changes in sleep and muscle tension, then switch to once a month once stable. If symptoms are severe or you are tapering medication, acupuncture can be added 1-2 times a week. Keeping a daily treatment diary (anxiety level 1-10, sleep duration, notable events) and bringing it to your visit greatly helps in evaluating treatment effectiveness.
