Summary
This study tests if a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation called HD-tDCS can reduce depression in 100 teens (ages 12-18) with bipolar disorder. Half get real stimulation, half get a fake version, and researchers track mood changes and brain activity over two weeks. The goal is to see if this safe, drug-free approach can ease symptoms.
