Abstract

Depression is one of the most widespread mental health disorders affecting millions of people worldwide. Traditional treatments such as psychotherapy and pharmacological interventions are often insufficient for patients with treatment-resistant depression. In recent years, neurostimulation techniques have emerged as a promising alternative approach. This paper explores various neurostimulation methods—including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)—that aim to regulate neural activity and restore normal brain function. The study highlights the mechanisms of action, clinical effectiveness, and safety aspects of these technologies. Furthermore, it discusses recent innovations and future perspectives of neuroengineering in mental health therapy. The findings suggest that neurostimulation provides a new, effective, and non-invasive method for managing depression, offering hope for patients unresponsive to conventional treatments.
