First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help young adults (18-35) with mild depression feel better. Participants will receive either real tDCS or a sham (placebo) treatment for 10 sessions over 2 weeks. Researchers will track changes in mood, motivation, and emotional regulation to see if tDCS offers a safe, drug-free way to ease depressive symptoms.
