Its mechanism, efficacy and optimal parameters are still in the exploration stage. Based on the tDCS-related researches of unipolar and bipolar disorders in recent years, this paper reviews the efficacy and safety of tDCS treatment in depressive acute stage and maintenance stage, and demonstrates the efficacy of tDCS on treatment-resistant depressive disorder patients, which provides possible ideas for follow-up research and clinical application.
