Background and Purpose: Depression and anxiety are two common signs of many mental disorders. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was developed to help patients with traumatic brain injury. This stud aimed to determine the effectiveness of tDCS on depression and anxiety of a person with major depressive disorder.
Method: This is a true experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The population of the study included persons with MDD. The sample included 30 women with MDD in the 5th district of Tehran; they were selected with the purposive sample method. They completed Beck’s depression inventory-II (Beck et al.; 1996) and Beck’s anxiety inventory (Beck et al.; 1989) in pretest and posttest. The experimental group received ten sessions of tDCS. Data were analyzed with two samples T-tests in SPSS-26.
Findings: The results indicate that the mean differences in the pretest-posttest of depression and anxiety were higher in the tDCS experimental group than in the control group (p<0.05).
Findings: It is concluded that the tDCS can reduce the depression and anxiety of women with MDD.
