Subjective Health Perception Moderates the Antidepressant Effects of Home-Based Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Perinatal Women: A Real-World Observational Study
Home-based tDCS was feasible and associated with clinically meaningful improvement in depressive symptoms among perinatal women. Those who initially perceived their health more negatively showed greater response, suggesting subjective health perception may serve as a useful moderator and potential marker to inform personalized treatment strategies.
