This is an open label pilot feasibility telemedicine study. This pilot will involve a total of 37 at-home stimulation sessions (30-minutes each) of multichannel excitatory tDCS targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) administered over 8 weeks, with a follow-up period of 4 weeks following the final stimulation session.
The main objective of the study is to assess the feasibility and safety of home-based tDCS for patients with MDD.
The treatment course will consist of an acute phase of 28 tDCS sessions, conducted daily (7 days per week) over 4 weeks.
Thereafter, participants will undergo a taper phase of an additional 9 sessions of tDCS applied in progressively decreasing frequency until day #60 of the study as follows:
1. Three tDCS sessions applied once every other day.
2. Three tDCS sessions applied once every third day.
3. Three tDCS sessions applied once every fourth day.
