Summary
This study tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people with anxiety or depression break the cycle of repetitive negative thinking. About 85 adults who worry a lot will receive either real or fake tDCS during therapy sessions. Researchers will measure changes in worry, rumination, and brain activity over 8 sessions.
