Anxiety and panic attacks and depression are rewarding to treat because they respond so well to nNEAP in the majority of cases. One study has shown that electroacupuncture is as effective as antidepressants in treating depression – but without the side-effects. Psychiatry Clin. Neurosci (1998) Dec; 52 Suppl; S338-40

Some types of sleep disturbance and insomnia will be quickly returned to normal using acupuncture and nNEAP. Phobias also can be greatly helped with nNEAP, often very quickly.

Case study
A 39 year old man suddenly developed a severe fear of flying. He arrived at Heathrow airport one day to fly out to the Middle East for a holiday and after checking in suddenly panicked and found that he just could not go through the departure gate. He had to come home again and abandoned the holiday. 2 years later he wanted to fly to Glasgow because a horse he had a part share in was running in race there. He was treated with a single session of nNEAP 2 days before he was due to fly, and flew quite happily.
