Official Title: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Young Individuals with Major Depressive Disorder: a Literature Review and Feasibility Study
Brief Summary:
Objectives: (1) To assess the therapeutic effects of tDCS on improving depressive symptoms in young individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), relative to sham stimulation ; and (2) to evaluate the tolerability, and feasibility of tDCS in young individuals with Major Depressive Disorder, to explore the feasibility for a scale-up study.Hypothesis: 1) we hypothesize the tDCS stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dLPFC) will reduce symptoms of depression more than sham stimulation, demonstrated by…
