When you have low mood, there are lower levels of activity in the front area of your brain. This is the part responsible for regulating mood, sleep and motivation.
Your brain runs on electricity; Flow sends gentle electrical impulses into the area that has slowed down. This gets cells firing again and reduces your symptoms of depression.
The technology is called tDCS - or transcranial Direct Current Stimulation.
Until now it was expensive and only available at clinics. With Flow you can access the treatment at home.
Our technology uses a non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS.

Stimulate for 30 minutes, 5 times a week.
After 3 weeks, reduce to twice a week.
The initial Flow treatment is 10 weeks. If Flow is helpful during these 10 weeks, we recommend you to continue for at least another 6 to 12 months, even if you have become symptom-free.

Using the headset feels different for everyone. A number of factors will affect how you experience Flow, for example, sleep quality and skin sensitivity and therefore sensations may vary among sessions. It usually feels a little more intense during the first 3 minutes of a stimulation session.
Some people have reported not feeling anything while others have reported feeling an itchy, slightly tingling sensation; like a stinging or a mild burning sensation on the forehead.
