At-home brain stimulation relieves symptoms of depression, study finds

Summary

Nutrition label

81% Informative

Flow Neuroscience's brain stimulation headset is already available in the UK , Norway , Hong Kong and countries in the EU .

The device is designed to speed up brain activity in the region that’s moving too slowly and slow it down where it’re overactive.

Device doesn’t cause nerve cells in the brain to fire, but it makes it easier for them to be stimulated.

Flow Neuroscience’s Mansson said the device hasn’t been studied for specific types of depression, such as seasonal affective disorder or postpartum depression, but since it is approved for major depressive disorder in Europe , they are able to treat those subtypes.

Certain people need to be careful about using this kind of device and should talk to their doctors.
