Electric headset for treating depression trialled by NHS
The NHS is trialling an electric headset which aims to reduce symptoms of depression.
The device uses electric pulses to increase brain activity, and medical trials suggest the equipment could work well.
If approved, the treatment could provide an alternative for those hoping to come off anti-depressants.

I'm not putting that thing on my head no way 😦
Just reduce tax and cost of living automatically stress will go down
They used to just put them on the short bus and in the small classes .. now they’re much more easily identified as a burden on society
Id be depressed too if i was an adult with bangs
Want to solve depression
Cancel all benefits in regards to depression and suddenly everyone will be healthy enough to work … Like magic
If we focus on how we can help improve things around us instead of focusing on self. It will reduce many depression cases. Ask any single parent.
Need more than that to sort me out.need to live someone else's life to improve things!
Yes, makes perfect sense! Put one on and go put in to the countryside and fresh air… while ur there, stare at a virtual reality of flashing pixels and electricity that goes str8 to ur brain and messes with ur own electrical impulses. Good one, National HEALTH service. I will stand on my doorstep and clap
Humanity is losing its way. Turn towards nature before its too late. We're being conditioned to accept this fake reality which is gradually turning us towards transhumanism.
Frequency and vibration is everything…its what the elite don't want us to know..the ancient technology held so dear to their sadistic hearts
Sky News has the number one worst comment section when it comes to pessimism.
I somehow don't trust this contraption.
Unfortunately this device will not make the Conservatives and their handling of the economy seem any better.
Yeah, far less invasive than regular exercise, a healthy diet and a healthy dose of shrooms…
The ignorance in this chat is unbeleivable, depression is a chronic illness. People who are physically fit and healthy also suffer from it.
😂😂😂
rather stay depressed then look like a🔔end to be fair
Maybe she was just feeling a bit unFRINGED lol
Is there a higher voltage equivalent
for those who actually want to die??
This very good help depressed still question will be better in the long time
electrocuting ur frontal cortex regularly is maybe not completely harmless?
I am sure that's not a good idea!
The best thing for depression is to stop wating tv and dump the phone and go on a country walk and look at the lovery country side and nature, the MSM will depress anyone with thier lies
Low voltage shock therapy?
The mask has moved up to the forehead now
I suffer from depression from the lost of my mom 1966-2017 and two brothers 1986-2019
1990-2018 and I will never use this device. And I will comfy with my therapist and take my anti depressants
I do not trust messing about with my brains natural electrical impulses. This could be very harmful longterm. BTW I do not trust the NHS either!!! Ps. If it really worked she wouldn't need to use it for THREE YEARS!!!
I wonder if all Gp surgery's make it available to their patients?
So wait, the specialist is worried about if it cures the depression? Drugs don't cure depression! They place the chemicals in the brain often replacing your depression with a dependency on the drug… I tried anti-depressants and after a year of bouncing from 1 drug to the next which was painful! I'd love to give this a try when it comes out.
Close your eyes … AND (ERECT) (ERECT) lol your focus into your body 😂😂😂😂
Made by FLOW neuroscience 😂😂😂
Sounds like a massive placebo effect
I'm going to ask for a trial from the doctors.
Please will someone dismantle one of these contraptions so we can all see what is inside it
There is also transcranial megnetic stimulation available on the nhs but sadly when I asked to be referred for it after having depression for years I was told because I hadn’t given anti depressants a good go then she could t refer me. But thing is I have tried some and had bad side effects
I’ve rented one of these to see how I get on. It felt v uncomfortable to begin with but not anymore
