Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Real tDCS
* Constant weak electric currents through scalp via two electrodes will be delivered.
* Current intensity: 2mA, 20min/day
transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
tDCS is one of non-invasive brain stimulation. Constant, low current is delivered to the specific brain areas to change brain plasticity.
Sham tDCS
* a 1 mA current, for 30 s giving an initial sensation of tDCS while minimizing stimulatory effects
* Ramp up and ramp down was over 10 s. (Ref. Loo CK et al., Br J Psychiatry 2012;200:52-9)

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* more than 19 years old
* Able to provide consent for the protocol
* Depression (based on DSM-IV criteria)
Exclusion Criteria
* Unpredictable symptom fluctuations
* Contraindication to tDCS (i) irritations, cuts, lesions in the brain (ii) any preexisting unstable medical conditions, or conditions that may increase the risk of stimulation such as uncontrolled epilepsy (iii) history of severe cranial trauma with alteration of the cranial anatomy or metallic intracranial implants (iv) history of seizure
* Subjects without the capacity to give informed consent
* If participation in the study would, in the opinion of the investigators, cause undue risk or stress for reasons such as excessive fatigue, general frailty, or excessive apprehension
