About treatments for depression, there were Different Treatments for Depression.Over 90 per cent of people with depression are treated in primary health care with only a small number requiring a psychiatric admission. Therefore, practice nurses, primary care-based psychiatric nurses and community psychiatric nurses (CPNs) are the most likely nurse contact for depressed people. There are a number of treatment options for people with depression but broadly they fit into three groups:

anti-depressant therapy;

talking therapies; and

combined talking and anti-depressant therapy. In addition, electro-convulsive therapy is used for severe, life-threatening depression and for depression with psychotic features.
