Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive device that sends a mild electrical current to the brain (tDCS) can improve mood, reduce apathy, and ease other emotional symptoms in people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will have 24 participants use the device at home for 30-minute sessions. The goal is to see if this safe, experimental treatment can help with feelings like depression, anxiety, and irritability.
