Remotely supervised, at-home brain stimulation therapy helps patients prevent relapse after depression treatment, study says

A recent study, and largest of its kind, has found that at-home brain stimulation can prevent relapse of major depressive disorder in 75% of patients. Published in the  Journal of Affective Disorders , the PSYLECT study tracked the long-term effects of home-based transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) therapy combined with online behavioral support. The findings revealed that non-drug, at-home treatment could help many patients maintain recovery from depression over time.
