Nonpharmacological treatments include psychotherapy and electroshock therapy. The purpose of psychotherapy is to reduce and treat symptoms through patients discussing their emotions and depression with a qualified professional. It may also be used to help both the sufferer and his or her family members learn how to cope with depression. Electroshock therapy, which consists of running an electric current through a patient while under anesthetic, is administered only to those victims who are suicidal and require immediate treatment, or to those with severe refractory depression.
非藥物治療則包括心理療法及電療法。心理療法的目的是通過合格的專業(yè)心理醫(yī)生同患者探討其情緒及憂郁的問題來減輕、改善患者癥狀。同時這也能指導(dǎo)患者及其家人學(xué) 習(xí)如何對待憂郁癥。電療法是將電流通過在麻醉狀態(tài)下的患者，實施的對象僅限於有自殺之虞、需要立即治療者，或是嚴重到難以醫(yī)治的憂郁癥患者。
