Non-Invasive Treatment for Depression and Anxiety in Older Adults
A new study conducted by the University of Florida College of Public Health and Health Professions has introduced a non-invasive treatment for depression and anxiety in older adults. The treatment involves transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) targeting the prefrontal cortex. Results from the study showed significant improvements in participants who received real TDCS treatment, even persisting a year after the treatment. This innovative approach could offer relief to individuals not responding to conventional medications.
