Acupuncture has little to do with anxiety. It needs to be ruled out by an expert Psychologist at first. Later, you can continue with acupuncture therapy if psychologist suggests you.
Your concern can be well treated with counseling sessions and homeopathic medicine if required.
You need an expert Psychologist who is a good homeopathic physician.
