Non-pharmacological approach for depression and other disorders Brain stimulation therapies: Brain stimulation therapies are non-pharmacological methods that involve the activation or direct contact of the brain with electricity, magnets or implants to treat depression and other disorders. Among many techniques, electroconvulsive therapy is the most studied stimulation therapy. Other stimulation therapies discussed here include  vagus nerve stimulation repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation magnetic seizure therapy deep brain stimulation. The latter methods are newer and more theoretical.1. Electroconvulsive therapy Introduction: It is a standard non-pharmacological psychiatric treatment in which seizures are induced electrically in patients and then treatment is carried out. ECT is reserved for treatment-resistant cases of major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, mania, and catatonia. First developed in 1938, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) did not gain popularity at first. However, the procedure has improved significantly since its initial use and is safe and effective.

Prerequisites: • Before ECT is administered, a person is sedated with general anesthesia. • A muscle relaxant is also administered to decrease movement during the procedure. • Vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate should be monitored during the procedure. Mechanism of Action/Pr...... center of sheet ......or reduce depression or OCD, scientists believe the impulses help "reset" the area of ​​the brain that isn't functioning properly so that it functions normally again. Side Effects DBS carries the following risks • Brain bleed or stroke • Infection • Disorientation or confusion • Unwanted mood changes • Movement disorders • Dizziness • Insomnia No long-term benefits or side effects are reported. Conclusion: • Brain stimulation therapies are used to treat mental disorder that does not respond to usual treatment. • Studies on rTMS are ongoing. • Other researchers are studying how the brain responds to VNS using imaging techniques such as PET scans. • Although DBS as a treatment for depression is new, researchers are trying to discover its effectiveness and safety in treating OCD, depression and other mental disorders.
