Flow - Depression treatment

Flow - Depression treatment is a free mental health guide grounded in psychology and neuroscience research, designed to help you understand and manage depression through education, self-assessment, and behavioral tools.

The app works as a standalone resource, offering over 50 structured education sessions across seven courses. Each session addresses evidence-based approaches to depression management: exercise, meditation, sleep, nutrition, behavioral coaching, and lifestyle habits. You'll learn why physical activity rivals antidepressant medication in reducing depressive symptoms, how meditation rewires your brain to manage stress, the science of sleep hygiene and its role in recovery, and how nutrition—particularly reducing sugar and inflammatory foods—supports mental health. The app includes the MADRS-s depression screening tool, letting you track changes in your symptoms over time and measure your progress.

Flow integrates seamlessly with the Flow brain stimulation headset for users seeking a more comprehensive treatment approach. The headset delivers transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a clinical technique backed by over 20 randomized, double-blind studies and decades of research. The headset is approved as a medical device in the EU and UK for depression treatment, and the app serves as your companion tool to guide you through the program and manage your sessions remotely from home.

Whether you're exploring depression treatment on your own or using Flow as part of a holistic protocol with the headset, the app puts evidence-based education and monitoring directly in your hands. No subscription required—download and start learning at your own pace.
