Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain
stimulation technique that has grown in popularity over the past two decades as
an alternative treatment option for various neuropsychiatric disorders. tDCS
modulates cortical excitability through the application of a weak direct current
to the scalp via electrodes placed over cortical regions of interest. It has been
shown to be a promising and relatively safe treatment tool with few adverse
events. In this article, we will briefly review the efficacy of tDCS in
depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
We will also discuss biomarkers of tDCS efficacy in depression, as it is the most
studied neuropsychiatric disorder using tDCS application. We will then offer
suggestions for future directions. Although efficacy results show promise, more
studies with larger samples and longer treatment periods are needed to better
understand the benefits of using tDCS as an alternative treatment option for
neuropsychiatric disorders.
