The review presents information on the most effective current non-drug methods of treatment of depression used in practice. A review of publications in PubMed and PsycINFO and Cochrane Library over the past 10 years was conducted. Non-drug biological therapies demonstrate high efficacy in the reduction of depressive symptoms in patients with recurrent depressive disorder. The use of non-drug therapy does not preclude the continuation of pharmacological therapy. In order to choose an optimal method of treatment, the psychophysical state of a patient, severity of depressive symptoms, response to drug therapy, and possibility of prescribing pharmacological therapy should be taken into account, and the principles of evidence-based medicine should be taken into consideration when making a decision.
