Abstract

Non-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） is a global public health problem with increasing prevalence in adolescents with depression. There is a lack of evidence for NSSI intervention theories， especially for evidence-based treatment. NSSI severely affects physical and psychological health of adolescents， which has captivated increasing concern from the society. Psychotherapy， drug therapy， diet therapy， physical therapy and movement therapy are the main therapeutic options for NSSI. In this article， recent research progress on the treatment of NSSI in depression was reviewed， aiming to provide novel ideas for clinical treatment and research for NSSI in adolescents with depression.
