Summary

This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can reduce depressive symptoms in people with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Sixty adults with BPD and moderate-to-severe depression will receive either real or fake (sham) tDCS sessions at home over one week. Researchers will check if the treatment is practical, well-tolerated, and effective in easing mood and BPD symptoms, with follow-ups up to six weeks.
