It may arise as a result of decrease in adaptation, low income, loss of life partner, disabilities and other factors. Handling elder depression requires special attention because it may cause ignorance and suicidal desires.

Methods: Multiple databases were used for this review determined from 2011 to 2017 with some limitations include the randomized controlled trial study were analized from Scopus, Pubmed, and Science Direct database which related to depression and non-invasive treatment. Results: Overall, 15 journals were conducted in older population with depression symptoms or diagnosed in the age range ≥ 65 years. This review reveals that cognitive behavior therapy, music therapy and activity therapy, potentially decrease the depression and anxiety levels in elderly compared with general therapy (psychopharmaceutical and routine consultation). Conclusions: These interventions which are used in this review have effective result and cost-effective without causing excessive physical and psychological stress. In order to maintain long-term effect, the health practitioner should be active to promote these non-invasive interventions in every level of health care services.
