How Flow works
When you experience depression, 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.

If you have depression, you should be under the supervision of a doctor.Step 1 – initial treatment period
The initial treatment period lasts for 10 weeks and is split into 2 parts:
1. The activation phase (3 weeks) – Flow is used for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week to activate the neural network.
2. The strengthening phase (7 weeks) – Flow is used for 30 minutes a day, 2 days a week to support the progress made in the activation phase.
A large randomised controlled research study as well as Flow’s real-world data (based on over 16,000 Flow users) indicate that 90% of the improvements people see with the Flow treatment usually occur within the first 10 weeks.
Step 2 – evaluate
After 10 weeks of treatment, use the following 3 scenarios to evaluate how to continue with Flow:
i. Your depression drops to minimal
Each week you’ll be asked to complete a short questionnaire in the Flow app to score your depression.
If your depression score drops below 12 points, which means your depression is minimal, continue to use Flow twice a week for at least another 6 to 12 months to help prevent you from relapsing and maintain your positive results.
ii. Your depression improves, but you still have depression
Continue to use Flow twice a week for at least another 6 to 12 months to help prevent you from relapsing and maintain your positive results.
iii. Your depression does not improve
The biggest improvements usually occur within the first 10 weeks. There is no treatment that works for everyone, and if you haven’t noticed an improvement at this point Flow may not be the right treatment for you.
Step 3 – continue for 6-12 months
According to current scientific evidence on depression relapse, everyone has a heightened risk of relapsing during the first 6 to 12 months following treatment. During that period, the brain is prone to falling back into depressive thinking and functioning.
Unfortunately, depression has a habit of coming back.
This is why it’s so important to continue using Flow for at least 6 to 12 months after your initial 10 week treatment period.
