This is an open-label pilot feasibility telemedicine study. This pilot will involve a total of 37 stimulations sessions / at home visits (30- minute sessions of multichannel excitatory tDCS targeting the left DPFC) and the maintenance of a daily treatment diary to be completed by the subjects immediately after enrollment and 12 weeks following the last study visit.
The investigators propose a study of telehealth supervised, caregiver-delivered, home-based transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for antidepressant treatment of patients with an acute depressive episode.
