To complete the quiz, choose the statement that best represents how you’ve been feeling over the past 3 days.

FAQs

Most people feel better after 3 weeks. In our data we see another increase after 6 weeks, and again at 10 weeks. Though this does differ from person to person.

One things for sure – you need to follow the treatment plan, which means using the headset 5 times a week for the first 3 weeks, followed by twice a week after that. Each session is 30 minutes long.

Yes. The Flow device was designed by experts and is based on tDCS techniques that have been used in clinics for over a decade to treat depression. The Flow device has undergone research that confirms it is a safe and effective treatment for depression.

tDCS is also listed as a treatment for depression on the NHS website.

Yes. About half of our users follow the behavioural therapy courses in the app, but you don’t have to. You can listen to music, watch TV, play computer games – whatever you want. Just don’t operate heavy machinery, go near water or perform intense exercise.

Whenever works best for you. Some people feel energised after a stimulation so use it in the morning. Some people feel sleepy so do it at night.

Scientifically, it doesn’t matter, so you can work out a routine that works for you.

Yes – Flow is perfectly safe to use with antidepressants, and many people use it alongside medication. If you are thinking about lowering your dose of antidepressants, or coming off them completely, you should talk to your Doctor first.

Flow has been tested on depression. We don’t have any specific clinical research on how it impacts anxiety on its own.

However, every week people who use Flow answer a questionnaire. In this sample of 10,000 users 58% are less anxious after using Flow for 3 weeks.

 

We recommend talking to your Doctor if you’re considering using Flow for a stand-alone diagnosis of anxiety.

Flow is a medical device, under the following circumstances you should take extra precaution and talk to your Doctor before you use it:

  • Pregnancy (or suspected pregnancy)
  • Bipolar disorder (or having a history of hypomanic/manic episodes)
  • Epilepsy (or having a history of seizures)
  • Heart disease (or suspected heart disease)
  • A neurological or neuropsychiatric condition
  • Having recently had a surgical procedure
  • Having a defect in neurocranium and/or an implant inside the skull
  • Having an active, implanted medical device (e.g. cardiac pacemaker, spinal cord stimulator, vagal nerve stimulator, auricular stimulator, deep-brain stimulating electrodes, cochlear implant, implanted hearing aid or defibrillator) or other implanted, metallic or electronic device
  • Suicidal thoughts (thoughts about ending your life)
