Many people do improve. Korean medicine treatment starts with what shows up in the body — sleep, digestion, tightness in the chest, tension in the neck and shoulders — because only when the body eases up does one have the reserve to steady the mind. You can continue this alongside psychiatric treatment.

Q. My family member refuses counselling — is there a way?

A.

Starting from the physical symptoms has a lower threshold.

📝 Detailed Answer

Many people come with physical problems such as not being able to sleep, poor digestion, or always being tired. Looking at the body first, without defining it as a mental problem, carries less burden.

However, we do not recommend bringing someone by force when they do not want it. Treatment continues only with the person's own consent.

If there are thoughts of self-harm or suicide, that is an emergency. You must connect directly to psychiatric care or a suicide prevention helpline.
