Acupuncture is a bogus treatment that doesn’t work for anything really. The best that can be said is there is weak evidence it might be effective for mild to moderate pain or nausea in some people. There is no evidence it is of ANY use in depression. But, don’t take my word for it, here is a recently published review of ALL the literature on acupuncture and depression. This is as current as it gets

EDIT. Of course, thumbs down for the most current and accurate information on acupuncture and smoking cessation.
