While absolute risk is still low, the population-level impact is significant considering the number of women worldwide that use a combined hormonal contraceptive. @lauraelinpigott

Home-Based Brain Stimulation Shows Promise for Treating Depression

A new study reveals that home-based transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe and effective treatment for moderate to severe depression.

The research shows that patients using active tDCS at home experienced significant improvements in their depressive symptoms compared to those in a control group.

The noninvasive treatment involves applying a mild electrical current to the scalp, which has been used in clinical settings for other mental health conditions.

In this study, participants underwent 10 weeks of treatment, with tDCS sessions initially five times a week and then reduced to three.

Results showed that the active tDCS group had three times higher rates of remission compared to the placebo group.

This innovative approach could make depression treatment more accessible for millions of people who struggle with traditional therapies.
