Prescribed Interventions to Reduce Depression
摘要
In previous chapters, we discussed pharmacotherapies and psychotherapies. Various interventions beyond pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy can help mitigate the impact of depression. The most familiar of these are touch, exercise, light therapy, electromagnetic stimulation, and virtual reality. In this chapter, we will discuss some of these interventions that are prescribed by health practitioners. Overall, they offer diverse avenues for managing depression beyond traditional treatments, highlighting the importance of a multifaceted approach to mental health care. In the next chapter, we will discuss non-prescribed attempts to ease the pain of depression.
