I thought I'd do a quick video on Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation... It is probably the most exciting technology for depression in my opinion since... forever!

I have Bipolar Disorder. I started using TDCS about a month ago and have stopped taking my medications, but not under my doctor's supervision. I feel better. Even when I was on the meds I had suicidal thoughts all the time. I haven't had as many of those thoughts since doing TDCS. I wouldn't recommend this approach to anyone personally, because everyone is different, but I was at the point that I felt my quality of life was so bad that I'd rather just be dead than have to keep taking medications that weren't helping. This device has given me a new hope.
How are you doing now?
Mate which electrode montage do you use?
Could please give us some information? Are you still fine and do you taking medicine anymore?
Would you please explain how did you use it to treat bipolar cathode & anode replacement intensity and time expose l,ll be very grateful
Are you alive?
I've just started using tdcs for my depression and I concur, IT WORKS!!! It is the dead of winter (when my depression is at its absolute worst) and I have never been this energetic and positive since I was a child.
lamarjlp914 happy to hear that , this help with insomnia too ?
Are you still fine? Could you take off of medice after being feeling good?
@@Murati-dg1se im still fine. I found out that im allergic to antidepressants so alternative therapies are a must. However, the most important changes I made were intermittent fasting (which boosts energy) and hitting the gym everyday.
@@lamarjlp914 Do you still taking medication?
@@Murati-dg1se no. Im allergic to them
I've been using this for 8 months now with no side effects. I use it everyday sometimes twice a day. No meds and I feel NORMAL.
How was your depression before using it? How long have you been depressed? How severe was your depression, MDD recurrent severe with suicidal tendencies? Just curious. I want to feel normal
Dig me 2 i want to feel normal :(
GM Junkyard which tdcs device is working for you ?
What kind of illness do you have ?
I see this post is 2 years old, would you mind telling us how you feel now? I am about to start treatment, best wishes!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I just received mine today and I am very excited to see the results.I am like most people seeking a solution for my lifelong depression and now 66 years old. In the beginning I went through a year of testing the various antidepressants, dietary habits, even ECT. have been on MAO Nadil, for 32 years and it grows less effective. The depression has only grown worse as I have aged.
Like many of us with depression, it easily takes over your life, family's and friends with it's overwhelming effects.
I saw an ad on Facebook ordered.
Used it once this morning for 20 minutes at the level 1m A. I was feeling little down as usual and do believe I felt more positive after! Now by evening, I can swear it made a difference in my whole day.
I plan to use it again tomorrow morn. Hopefully, I will need it less often as the neurotransmitters begin sparking better in my brain.
Thanks again!
Claire how it go
Still going strong. I'm glad to see these devices are catching on. I wish the medical community would promote this as an option. I mentioned this to my old doctor and his reaction was one of disgust. I now have a new doctor who encourages me to keep using it as long as I have no side effects. None so far. The Omni stimulator is the least expensive one I found. The quality is good.
Western medicine will never promote it in a majority. Some professionals may but not as a whole.
Big Pharma don't want sane and healthy people (profit). Only a permanently sick patient is a good patient.
@@themacocko6311 western medicine is all about giving you the quick fix with drugs and getting you hooked on it forever. How to ween you off meds? There's no manual for that.
I received mine a week ago and I can notice a difference. I've been using mine everyday lol.
Fantastic!
Hi, are you still using the device? any updates.
0:30 the fact that he went through his worst time in his early twenties gives me hope...maybe I'll make it too
Thanks for this video. my life changed dramaticaly since I use this device. (daily with 2mA).
Nice great to hear!
To be a bit more clear. I'm (or used to be) a more or less depressed person. so I bought a device. I use the same montage as in the video. Read this blog post for more information.
speakwisdom.wordpress.com/2014/08/12/almost-criminal-tdcs-still-an-unknown-depression-treatment/
I used the device on a Tuesday evening, during Wednesday a could feel a big difference. Especially they way I think about anxiety. Since than my life has changed. I mean I have still my depressive thoughs, but it is all less serious, so it is by far more easy to deal with it.
I'm going to see a professional tdcs person, because a want to know if i'm on the right track and a want to know more about this.
Further I will do efforts that more depressed people can have a try on this. I still can't belief I dealt 30 year with depression, spent 1000 of hours and dollars, and than there is a device witch costs 99 $ and 20 minutes of time and has by far the biggest influence to my life. (I had also good results with Neuroptimal, but only for a couple of seconds per month.)
hi, i have been suffering from depression for years, may i ask you a few questions. Did you take any medication before the tdcs? Are you taking this any further? and how are you now?
I just ordered mine! I cant wait to see the result! So tired of being tired and depressed
TDCS has changed my life so drastically that my ADHD symptoms have mostly vanished. I just got diagnosed with ADHD and my psychologist had me take an IQ test and i scored 71. Now that was before using TDCS but i can say with confidence that my IQ raised at least 20 points since when i first started using it. My ADHD ruined almost every aspect of my life. When it came to any social interactions, jobs, confidence, women, respect, friends, i failed in everything i mentioned, and even made me never get my drivers license because i failed the test twice. I could only follow what people say HALF the time so you can imagine how severe my ADHD was and without medication it was even WORSE. Now I'm 30 years old and a failure in life in every aspect of adult life but since starting TDCS i have dreams that can actually be fulfilled. I can live as a normal human being. I feel like I'm no longer stuck at a dead end road and because of it i have confidence I'll pass and get my drivers license, make more money, be more social, get a girlfriend, and live INDEPENDENTLY for once. TDCS saved my life and I'm absolutely baffled by the fact that it isn't FDA approved in the US or a actual treatment for those that have severe ADHD like i did. All i can say is WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT TDCS SOONER I COULD HAVE GOT MY LIFE ON TRACK 10 YEARS AGO 😭 All those people that looked down on me and treated me like garbage for not having my life together are going to pay the price dearly now.
@@PaskatiBlimpwhich device were you using mate?
I have the same device. That device helped removing my depression and I feel awake after a long time.

@@Murati-dg1se At the beginning I was using it everyday. Nowadays, I use it once or twice a week. I don't do it as much because I started to feel nervous unlike the first weeks. I found out for me the most effective treatment is running + doing 🍄 every month.
@@ccdj35 did you take medication before the tdcs? if so, are you still taking it?
TDCS really works. A few points for anyone interested in trying this out.
- This is not a one time solution. It may take several treatments before you see any improvement. Generally once a day for 20 minutes. It may take several weeks of daily treatments to see full results, then once or twice a week to maintain.
- Sponges need to be dipped in a saline solution in order to be effective. You can make your own solution with a cup of water and about a half teaspoon of salt dissolved in the water. The saline is needed to conduct electrical current from the pad/electrode to the skin.
- IF YOU ARE LEFT HANDED, you may need to reverse the placement of the sponges. By that I mean place them on the opposite side of the brain as shown in the montage chard. About 50% of left handed people have reversed brain structures from right handed people. Therefore, for the treatment to be effective you need to switch the pads and do the reverse of the montage. I found this out the hard way. I used tDCS for treatment of depression and over the course of a couple of weeks I found my depression growing significantly worse. I was disappointed and confused. Then, out of the blue it popped into my mind that my brain might be wired differently because I'm left handed. I must have recalled something that I had read or heard before. After a bit of research I decided to swap the placement of the pads... i.e. if the montage said to put the anode the left prefrontal cortex, I switched it to the right prefrontal cortex, and vice versa. With the very next treatment I saw immediate improvement.
@@shrinkingviolet3 I'll be doing a follow up video due to popular demand. How long will differ depending on the person using the device. This video is just on the technology itself and that it can be very beneficial. The next video will be in depth into how to use a tDCS unit for the best results based on my own experience and the studies I've read.
Richard Rogers Is it a case of trial and error if you are left handed? I always thought that the difference between left and right handed brains was the opposite side of the brain is larger e.g. being left handed means you have a bigger right side in the brain, but I didn’t realise it can be reversed. I am currently trying the montages the way shown in the video hoping I am not one of the 50% left handers
hi, i have been suffering from depression for years, may i ask you a few questions. Did you take any medication before the tdcs? Are you taking this any further? and how are you now?
Wow Im so glad I saw your comment. Might have saved me alot of pain and frustration!! I am left handed. There is definitely something to it because a few months ago I tried to do a Tms study at our university here. When they found out I was left handed I was rejected for the study.
@@abigailtolby9479 did you find tdcs worked for you reversing the sponges/cables?
You are one of very authentic people. Love you.

Thank you for sharing your experience with tDCS.
I recently ordered my device and I can't wait until it gets here, so excited and hopeful! :D And thank you for putting this up here, it helps seeing reviews from normal people who are doing this for themselves and not trying to sell anything. Best wishes from Sweden!
I've been zapping for about 2 months now (on and off), idk if I feel that much of a difference. During the session and right after I feel more balanced and calm but overall my depression is still persistant.
@@omsnaga hi, i have been suffering from depression for years, may i ask you a few questions. Did you take any medication before the tdcs? Are you taking this any further? and how are you now
I JUST ordered mine! I'm so excited I have Major Depressive disorder and Complex PTSD. Based on your video and reviews I'm hopefully I've literally tried every form of medication, had a therapist try and cast "demons" out of me. I've battled my disorders since I was 4! I'm almost 40. I was thinking about doing ECT or Ketamine until I found this video. I'll report back on my experience. Thank you again for this video
What is ur condition right now?
How are you now Lin?
Could you please give us Information. I also i an deep Depression. This device could maybe save my Life? How do you feel now and have you to take medicine anymore?
Please tell us you’re feeling better
Didn't do a thing!! :/
It's possibly a bit late for me to say this now - but I was kindof hoping you'd dampen the sponges with the can of beer sitting on the desk.
Brendan, you also want to take vitamins for the brain. I suffered from a chemical imbalance as well and spent years reading reseach papers on the brain to help myself (I was also on medication, which 'caused a psychotic bread). I had to help myself since the doctors I was seeing didn't seem to know what they were doing). I came accross a reseach of vitamins & aging in mice. This article had the vitamin list used in the study. Oddly enough I had most of them in my vitamin statch. I was doing bullet proof coffee with a few vitamins mixed in at the time. I did well, however when I used all the vitamins on the list the difference was night and day. I crushed the vitamins into a powder, mix it with 1/2 cup coffee, Kerry gold butter & a little pure olive oil, blend and drink. I drink this everyday. Since I've been doing this, the synapsis in my brain have been communicating effetively, no depression - I mean I can't really tell you what it's like to be depressed due to neuroplasticity my brain has reconfiguered itself and adapted to being healthy. I'm going to get a tDCS so I can upload info faster (language, Forex trading, ect). Below is the link to the study. Please, please check it out. I want the whole world to know about this because this study was done a few years ago and it still hasn't hit mainstream and I think about all the people who's lives could have been saved. I try to stay update on all researches being done on the brain.

Thanks for the link :-)
How many mg,the paper is based on rat,that means the ratio for human must be different,could you suggest something,thank you very much
Thank you for your help fullness not many people are like this
I done my final year project on tDCS and genuinely think there's a future for this in helping depression and certainly SAD. More research can really make this 'device' really popular around the world and people should and I think will be more aware of this. Very few side effects too which is great compared with drugs..
Yeah it's amazing... There's some slight itching if you use it too much but I mean the benefits trump everything... I would like to make more videos on this when I get the time. The more people with depression that can get their hands on a tDCS device the better. I still feel there's a place for drugs don't get me wrong but for me personally this is revolutionary. I don't think it would be too much to suggest that technology like this can save lives or at the very least give people a better life. But that's just my opinion based on my experience and from what I've read.
Sadly they won't focus on getting people to try this method because of the BILLIONS they make off of mental imbalances
Cn we put anode on right side of head for social anxiety
@@ANXIETYWARRIORS22you have to experiment on yourself because every person is different and little research data is available
serotinin can only do so much for depression. Its not a cure all.
Great information . I'm going to buy one of these devices .Thank you.
I have been using a TDCS devise for a week 30 mins a day at 0.2 mili amps and it seems to be working and feel no side effects
CharlesCarabott which brand of tdcs?
hi, i have been suffering from depression for years, may i ask you a few questions. Did you take any medication before the tdcs? Are you taking this any further? and how are you now?
What works for you may not for other people, gotta be careful,
Thanks for posting this, cheers bud and good luck.
Hello, can we use this device for treating bipolar disorder.
Amazing how well it worked for you. Did you notice any difference with anxiety? Assuming you struggled with anxiety too
There is also TACS which works with alternating current instead of direct current. Would like to try it also
Also try "Focusing" by Eugene Gendlin
Try adding in carnivore. It is profoundly life changing.
I suffer from both panick attacks, anxiety and depression. Does this treat both anxiety / depression? What happens if you stop using?
I've been using a tdcs device for depression for almost three years. Bottom line, it works for me, almost instantly. However, I do not see any indication of the other claimed effects of tdcs.
I feel as though it makes my thinking a little sharper, memory etc.
What brand do you use ??
hi, i have been suffering from depression for years, may i ask you a few questions. Did you take any medication before the tdcs? Are you taking this any further? and how are you now?
Where to buy this device in India
How did you use the device in a manic and depressive episode in terms of the location of the cathode and anode and the intensity of the current used?
I was doing this a while ago but found it wasn't working. I was using the foc.us v2 but I think I might have been using the anode/cathode in the wrong positions as the the headset was just marked left and right. I might try it again as I've now realised left is anode and right is cathode. I think I might have used the cathode in the F3 position and the Anode in FP2. Then it has the opposite effect and makes depression worse?
Thanks.
Thanks for sharing!
How about bipolar disorder
You still alive mate? Good work
There is no device in the link below, there is a picture of the guitar
great vid thanks for sharing
How does this compare to the Fisher Wallace stimulator? Which is $300 device or $500 give it take...Also, other units are available such as the Brain Driver and some other off brands.. Not sure where this Omni model is made but for $99 it's not bad~
Cn we use anode on the right side of. Head for social anxiety
I got eye damage from it, vision loss in my left eye that only 3 days later is going away. I compare it to the effect of a blue laser shining in my eyeball for 10 mins, I saw an imprint of blue light. Anyone else?
If you are placing the electrodes too low the stimulation might reach the optical nerve, thus producing this effect. Or... Electrodes are too large.
thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video. Does it also help with anxiety?
Yes !!
Dónde puedo comprarme este desposetivo...?
Does it help with derealization too?
Hello, thank you for your video. Do you have the links of the studies that talk about tdcs/depression ?
Thank you
How about anxiety?
Thank you. How did you figure out where to position the wires?
How was your anxiety
Hello, I wanted to know the exact placement for depression.
Hi - Is this the FP2/F3 montage? Red electrode seems to be incorrectly placed (slightly too far to the left) so it's interesting you've had relief. I'm experimenting with it myself at the moment and... just feel a bit foggy. I'm left-handed and considering switching the polarity.
Dax Shepard is that you?
lol
What setting? You say you put it on for 10 minutes, but you never say what setting.
After all theese years do you still use it? What about collateral effects?
is it still working for you? just so you know, that's not the temple.
What is the name of it in Amazon?
Just had a look for it, I can't see it there. I purchased directly from their website.
Does it still work for you now after 4 years/ ?im from the Philippines which TDCS products can be ordered and shipped worldwide?
You dont wet the sponges?
Yes you do with saline solution.
do you know what the difference is between this and the PoNS system that applies stimulation to the tongue? is PoNS only meant to stimulate movement disorders?
Can this work for anxiety as well?
Thanks for sharing this video! What strength mA are you using?
1,5 he said. Neuromyst can do 4. AC or DC as well.
Can it work for ASD and ADD?
My prefrontal cortex is severely impaired to the point where thinking about anything is remarkably difficult....
Yes it can. There is lots of research on tDCS for autism and similar. Here is just one example, many others out there www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6495599/
tDCS is being used to treat many different conditions. Check here for a guide to sponge placements for a variety of conditions. totaltdcs.com/ You can also search for "tDCS montage" to find more
I'm the same
Try detox from fluoride and aluminium or other heavy metals/toxins. Those make people dumb/overexited/apathic. Much info here on UA-cam.
Thanks for this. I see they're doing trials at Kings College for people with bulimia using this technology. I suffer from BDD which drives me crazy and I'm wondering if this would help.
I am unsure if it would work. I guess if it's tied up with depression etc it may be of some help :-)
hi, any updates? are you still using it?
Has anyone experienced an out of body experience using this device
I've never heard of that. I may do a follow up video on tDCS. It's been years since I've posted this video and there's been a ton of questions since.
I just ordered a different brand but same concept. Of all I have read and seen, your video testimonial is most helpful and motivating. Sorry if you addressed this already, but were you taking any Rx meds at the time you started? Or before or after tdcs? I think no from video but want to confirm. Thanks
No I don't take any medications though some supplements.
If you don't do it for awhile, Do you find yourself in a more depressed state than you were before ever starting tdcs? I find when I try and go off of Zoloft, I am worse off than I was before ever getting on it so I am afraid of dependency. Thank you.
No not in my experience. However I continue to use it once a week for a top up.
Hi,thanks for the video. Do you still use tdcs? As I understood, you use it on a regular basis,without any resting periods? How do you feel,do you notice any side effects? (I'd like to do the same,but for now I have 10 days doing the procedure,then I'm resting for 2 months,but I feel the effect just for a month at max. (this is what I've been told about how to use it,and this is what I've read about the procedure,so I'm cautious about using it more frequently)
Do you still use it on a regular basis?(and if you do,do you notice any side effects? thanks
I'm doing a video that will include your question. It will be available within the next couple of weeks. Short answer is yes I use it once a week.
@@KickAnxiety1 ok,thanks
Is CES just as effective?
Does anyone know if these have shown any ability to help improve memory?
I read that somewhere, yes
Thanks for your review. Do you remember how you felt the first time you used the device? Was there any discomfort in any way? How does one know if to turn it up or down in strength/setting?
I believe I used it at 1.5mA. Yes there was slight discomfort but nothing that bothered me too much. I personally just used it enough not to leave any kind of rash which can happen using tDCS with too much use and also adjusted the setting accordingly.
have you also had an anxiety disorder? Did it also help with anxiety?
Some get help
What power level did you set it at? What would happen if i feel asleep with it on, is it dangerous if left on my head for too long? Thanks
I generally use 1.5mA, sometimes 2mA depending on how long I will use it. I wouldn't suggest you fall asleep while using it as tDCS can cause a slight burn if overused. I personally don't use tDCS for longer than 20 minutes at a time. I'm going to do a new video on this within the next fortnight so make sure you subscribe as there are a few questions I want to answer.
Do you have any tingling sensation afterwards?
I seem to have become a sexual maniac after using this. (My wife loves it).
I've started to use a similar machine last week I feel worse. Is this normal to start off with?
I know your comment is from two years ago, but perhaps this may still help.
First, be sure the placement of the pads are correct including the positive and negative wires. Second, are you left handed? If so it is likely you need to put the pads on the opposite side of the head as indicated in the montage. The brain of many, if not most left handed people have the opposite structure of a right handed person. When I first started tDCS my depression became markedly worse. I figured I was doing something wrong, then I tried switching the placement and saw immediate improvements.
What size batteries does it take?
9v
I tried it but it gave me bad insomnia
Don't lose any sleep over it, okay?
Don't use it in the evening then
Received from Australia 1 week ago and allready did 3 sessions, but dont notice any change yet, mayby my brain isn't responsive , how long before notice any change ?
No you probably haven't used it enough to see any noticeable results.
How are your results now?
Do you use any medicine for now ?
No I don't. I just use tDCS once a week. Everyone is different though.
What montage are you using for positioning the anode and cathode?
Cathode (positive) top left temple and Anode (negative) either just above my right eyebrow or strapped to my right bicep. I'll make another video soon as I'm getting a lot of questions on this.
Can it help to relieve chronic anxiety? Where can I get one?
Hey. I will say yes based on what I've read and it has helped me however I don't have chronic anxiety anymore but anxiety/depression do go hand in hand. I purchased the tdcs kit at omnistimulator.com. Hope that helps, sorry for the late reply. Worth every cent imo.
@@KickAnxiety1 tq
Hey, you still using this? How has things been for you lately? Have this ever helped you with your senses that have been dulled from depression or relief from anhedonia (not being able to experience pleasure) and apathy? Has it helped you connect with other people better due to being able to feel emotions more or helping depression?
Hey Zerg,
Did you leave a comment under the Brendan Morgan backup account? I'll paste much of that answer here because the questions are practically the same and I'll add some to it.
I've found I bounce back from things faster and feel more motivated. I had a hard time last year when a friend of mine killed himself but I still never fell into a pit. I still feel anger, frustration and a whole range of human emotions, the difference is motivation and a general sense of well-being since using it is. I guess I feel more in control. I've tried everything and it works for me and reading the comments and studies it's working for a lot of people.
I do connect better with people yes including my girlfriend and family. I feel less distant and less overwhelmed. I can only speak for myself though.
I just made a video here ua-cam.com/video/cFmNeWYJxGM/v-deo.html that mentions my top 4 depression treatments (I couldn't think of a 5th that worked to round it up). Please go watch that video all the way through and sub to that channel. I state in this video that they are in no particular order but after re-watching it, I'd say they pretty much are. I'd love it if you could share this video if possible as I feel it's really important and after looking at other videos online there's very few that I feel will truly help people.
Also I learnt to treat the brain like an athlete treats a muscle. I do everything I can to keep it healthy and strong which includes supplementation (that's another video). However I think that's a good philosophy. Once again if you could share this new video on any social media outlet and sub I'd appreciate it. I don't do this for the money (I make none) I do it to help people so they didn't have to go through the 20 year old struggle I did.
Do you feel the electrical current like a mild electrcial shock?? I have a portable electrical muscle zapper is it the same feeling as that ? I tried mine on my head and even on the lowest setting it hurts a bit with the pulsing electrical shock.
I am "currently" in my first session, and noticing a little bit of sting at the pads, and initially muscle twitching above my hairline, but then that disappeared away. I can get used to the sting, if that's what it takes.
Curious - i am using one as well - can u feel it when operating??
You should feel a tingling, or slight sting or pin prick sensation where the sponges contact the skin. Sometimes it feels a bit irritating, but you will quickly grow accustomed to it. Depending on the type of device you have, you can reduce the voltage and that will help. The device I use has settings for 0.5mA (milliamps), 1.0mA 1.5mA and 2.0mA. I normally use it at 2.0mA.
I can sometimes feel another sensation in my brain. I can't describe it, but it is a pleasant sensation, a slight euphoric feeling and sense of clarity.
It seems I can't find anyone with an experience similar to mine. I just got my device yesterday and tried it with 1.0 current. It gave me an extremely weird sensation: I felt unreal and there was strong pressure in my forehead. I quickly stopped the device. That scared me quite a bit but not enough to stop experimenting. I started from the beginning with 0.2 only and today with 0.3.
It's really weird that I can't find anything similar in the net. I don't know if the problem is in my head or in my device. Maybe it's giving too strong current. Guess I'll never know.
BonafidesFromFinland - Hello! Thank u for your reply. The first couple of times, i was a little weirded out by the physical sensation myself - but i really could not say that it made me feel any different emotionally. I have heard some people make claims that it made noticeable difference in their mood. And the science is behind it. Fortunately there is not enough current to do anything that would damage your brain, so that’s comforting LOL. Keep in touch and let me know how you do. One thing I can say that makes an extreme difference is the type of saline solution that you use. The first time I made my own Celine and I think my salt content was too high and that will definitely increase your current. Good luck!
There are 4 settings for mA. Which setting are you using that gets the best results?
Hey there... I have been using 1.5mA most of the time. I have used 2mA with no probem but 1.5mA is working fantastic for me. I may make another video on the Omni soon as I have had a few questions about how I use it.
