Summary

This study is testing whether a stronger version of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called tDCS, is safe for people with major depression. About 20 adults will receive mild electrical pulses through electrodes on their scalp over 5 days. Researchers will monitor side effects and mood changes to see if this higher dose is tolerable.
