Brain neurostimulation methods make a rapidly developing field of psychiatry. They can be divided into invasive and non-invasive methods. The latter group has been used in psychiatry more frequently. This group consists of transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation and also electroconvulsive therapy. While electroconvulsive therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation are used in clinical practice, transcranial direct current stimulation is still an experimental method. The article presents and discusses selected news published in scientific literature about these methods.

Keywords: neurostimulation methods, electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation.
