We’ve seen that using Flow alongside antidepressants can have an even better effect than just using Flow.

In our clinical trial, 67% of people who used both Flow and antidepressants were no longer clinically depressed at 10 weeks, compared with 49% of those who just used Flow.

Are you familiar with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)?

This is the technology that the Flow headset uses to treat depression.

Yes, I know all about it
I'm somewhat familiar with it
I've never heard of it

You’re one step ahead - we’ll spare the science lesson!

Flow stimulates the brain with gentle electrical impulses to treat depression

When you experience depression, there are lower levels of activity in the front area of your brain, or to be more specific the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. This is the part responsible for regulating mood, sleep and motivation.

Your brain runs on electrical impulses; Flow sends a gentle electrical current of 2 milliamps through 2 pads on your forehead into the area that has slowed down. This gets cells firing again, restoring brain function and can reduce your symptoms of depression.

The technology is called tDCS - or transcranial Direct Current Stimulation.

Can you fit Flow into your daily life?

Flow is used for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for the first 3 weeks. It then drops to 2 days a week.

You can use Flow at any time of day and while you’re doing other things - replying to emails, eating dinner, meditating.

Yes
I’m not sure

We know everyone has busy lives

“After just one time using it I felt back to my normal, happy self! It was honestly incredible. I haven’t stopped talking about it and couldn’t recommend it enough.”

Sophie , Bristol

We know everyone has busy lives. You can use Flow at any time of day. Most people do it first thing in the morning, or while doing something relaxing like reading a book.

If you’re not able to fit Flow in to your daily routine, you can return it to get your money back.
