What is Flow?

Flow is a depression treatment that uses a tDCS headset and an in-app behavioural therapy programme.

When we have depression, certain parts of our brain may not be as active as they should be. This can make us feel sad most of the time, lose interest in things we used to enjoy, feel tired, have trouble focusing and notice changes in our appetite and sleep pattern.

The Flow headset uses a gentle electrical current to restore brain activity and reduce depressive symptoms. This technology is called transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS).

It only takes 30 minutes

Each session, also called stimulation, with the headset takes only 30 minutes. You can easily fit these sessions into your day and use the headset while watching TV, reading or answering emails. It's a great time to do the behavioural therapy courses in the app.

Activation phase:

5 x a week for the first 3 weeks

Short heading

3 x a week after that for 6 to 12 months (duration of usage should be discussed with your doctor)

Start to feel better in 3 weeks

Flow has been shown to deliver fast and effective relief of depressive symptoms, including improved mood, sleep and focus.
