Summary

In this double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial, the investigators aim to determine the acute effectiveness of duration-doubled tDCS on suicidal ideation in patients with MDD. In addition to the their usual treatment, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 10 weekday sessions of active (2 mA) or sham tDCS as an adjunctive treatment, with the anode over the left DLPFC and the cathode over the right DLPFC. The investigators will regularly assess suicidal ideation, depression severity and functional impact using the BSI, HAMD-17, MADRS, ODQ, YMRS, ASRM, CGI and SDS throughout the trial. The investigators will assess cognitive changes using WCST and SCWT. The investigators will also regularly assess treatment-related side effects using validated scales.
