Depression
 Depression is an extreme feeling of sadness and discouragement. It can affect anyone at any age. It is not connected with and does not develop into insanity. Depression varies in severity. Some people will experience a mild form of depression and will be able to carry out day to day activities. Others will experience a severe form of depression and may lack the energy or desire to perform day to day activities. Emotional distress becomes lodged in the body as muscular tension and blocked energy, and shows how acupressure can relieve not just the resulting physical symptoms, but also their emotional source-often without the need for extensive talk therapy or medication.
Anxiety
 Acupressure can relieve anxiety and nervousness as it increases blood circulation throughout the body and has an overall relaxing effect on muscles and the mind. When you release physical tension, you calm your mind; and when your mind is calm, you can gain a new perspective on the problems underlying your anxious feelings or phobias. Pre-operative anxiety is associated with many unwanted effects such as increased analgesic and an aesthetic requirement, postoperative pain and prolonged hospital stay. In the present study, we investigated the effects of acupressure on pre-operative anxiety and bispectral index (bis) values.
