The Flow Neuroscience Low-Mood Treatment Headset

Designed and engineered in Sweden, the Flow Headset is a non-invasive low mood treatment.

Flow works by gently stimulating areas of the brain associated with low mood, while the Flow app guides each session and tracks your progress. Together, they form a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment you can follow from home.

Feel the difference in 3 weeks.

For lasting results, continue treatment for at least 6 months.

Most people begin to notice an improvement in their symptoms after about 3 weeks.

However, research shows that the first 6-12 months following a successful treatment are critical for preventing a relapse.

During this time, the brain can be more susceptible to returning to depressive patterns.

Continuing treatment with Flow for at least 6 months helps to secure your progress and supports the long-term recovery of your brain.

First 3 weeks
Activation phase
  • More frequent stimulation sessions to initiate brain changes.
  • Use the headset 5 times a week for the first 3 weeks.
Week 3-10
Stabilisation Phase
  • Regular maintenance sessions to build on initial progress.
  • Continue the treatment, reducing to 2 sessions per week until the 10-week treatment cycle is complete.
Week 10+
Maintenance phase

No serious side effects.

Your safety is our priority.

In over two decades of research into tDCS (the technology used by Flow), no serious side effects have been reported. This excellent safety profile is why Flow is approved for use without a prescription.

The treatment is generally very well tolerated. In rare cases, mild, temporary side effects that subside on their own may occur.

These typically include temporary skin irritation, such as redness or itching. Even more rarely, tiredness, headaches, tinnitus, or a brief increase in anxiety may occur.

"A remarkable tool that safely and effectively helps patients with depression to recover more quickly."
Dr Mark McConnochie
NHS Consultant Psychiatrist

Prefer clinician oversight?

Flow is an over the counter treatment, designed for use at home. Some people prefer a clinician to oversee their treatment.

You can connect with one of our partner clinics, who have psychiatrists and psychologists who are experts in tDCS.

They can:
  • Monitor your progress
  • Increase number of stimulations
  • Offer other forms of therapy

Prices may vary by clinic. This is an optional service.
