Summary

This study looks at whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS is practical and well-liked by hospitalized adults whose depression hasn't improved with standard treatments. Ten participants will receive 10 sessions of tDCS alongside their usual care. The main goals are to see if patients find it tolerable and if it shows any early signs of easing depressive symptoms.
