Brief Summary
This observational study aims to assess the potential relationship between tongue colorimetry (using standardized photographic techniques) and anxiety-depression scores measured by the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) in acupuncture patients. Data will be analyzed using machine learning methods to determine whether tongue color features correlate with MADRS scores, possibly contributing to a novel, non-invasive diagnostic tool for anxiety and depression assessment in clinical practice. Participation involves only tongue photography and completion of questionnaires, without any invasive procedures or treatment modifications.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18 years or older * Native French speakers * No medical conditions or medications affecting tongue coloration * Consulting for acupuncture with symptoms involving an anxious component Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of psychosis or substance abuse * Eating or taking medication within one hour before the examination * Refusal to complete the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) questionnaire * Refusal to have their tongue photographed
