## Flow Description
Flow represents a new chapter in the understanding and treatment of depression, based on the latest psychology and neuroscience research.

The app can be used on its own and offers an education programme with over 50 sessions. The sessions cover a range of topics from behavioural coaching and lifestyle habits, such as, meditation, sleep, diet and exercise. To track changes over time, the app includes the MADRS-s depression test.

Used as a companion tool for the Flow brain stimulation headset, this is a holistic approach to treating depression. The type of stimulation used in the Flow headset, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), has long been used in clinical settings to treat depression. With Flow, you can now access tDCS in a remote device from your own home. To use the headset you will need the app.

The Flow treatment is based on decades of clinical research and is supported by more than 20 randomised double-blind studies. The Flow headset is approved as a medical device (CE) in the EU and UK for the treatment of depression. Order it at: 

The programme contains over 50 education sessions split into 7 courses, covering topics such as:

- Exercise

Physical exercise has been shown to have a similar effect to antidepressant medication when it comes to reducing and preventing depressive symptoms. Flow education explores the types of exercise that are beneficial.

- Meditation

Meditation is practised by many people around the world as mental “exercise” for the brain. Flow will give you exercises to follow but also show you the neurological basis of why meditation is good for managing stress in your everyday life.

- Sleep

Did you know that sleeping for only six hours each night for two nights in a row is equivalent to being continuously awake for 24 hours? Flow will educate you on sleep hygiene, why we sleep and why sleeping is one of four important pillars for overcoming depression.

- Nutrition

The nutrition sessions will advise and encourage you to eat in a way that science has proven reduces inflammation in the brain, thereby alleviating depression. Spoiler alert: sugar is one of the big villains.


For use with the FL-100 headset which is certified in the UK, EU, Switzerland, Norway, Hong Kong, Brazil and Australia.
Important: Seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.

## Flow Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "It worked for me, just took some time"
I had to stop as headset got misplaced when I was moving home. I hope one day to be able to buy new set.
-- joanmaria50, 2024-11-19

### ***** "Please add widget"
Seems like a nice app. It would be great if there was a widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen.
-- tomasz.herbasz, 2024-09-14

### ***** "Happy with Flow so far"
I have now had 16 sessions and am so glad I bent the plastic to buy this device 
The acid test will come in weeks to come but I understand I am able to have two sessions a week for another year at least 
I am 67 and have suffered with depression from an extremely early age, can remember clearly the feeling of sadness at 3 years old…. 
It’s never too late to try and help yourself and make changes
-- Adrenaline Nan nan, 2024-06-28

### ***** "Amazing"
This worked for me. The effect was almost instant. It’s made a profound difference to my life.
-- DavidMarg, 2024-05-20

### ***** "a superb app effective sleek and engaging- highly recommended"
if you are struggling with depression Flow neuroscience is twice as effective as pharmaceutical antidepressants but if you really want bang your back, make sure you use this app and to all the courses
-- Migrantpunter, 2024-03-17

### ***** "Flow Works!"
As someone with decades long depression I’ve had great results using Flow.  I highly recommend trying it, with a money back guarantee you’ve nothing to lose!
-- WHeatie05, 2024-02-27

### ***-- "It’s okay"
The app and device are quite good, it’s really great at the start because it really helps to guide your treatment

But after you have been using it for a year or so like me, a lot of the inbuilt features start to become annoying.

A depression quiz with no way to cancel it feels unnecessary once a week at this point, nothing has really changed, I have reached the peak of the treatment. I find myself spamming answers just to skip the the treatment step without reading them, I imagine others would do the same.
Restricting usage to x number of days in a given period.
Again this should have some kind of override in the options. I have no doubt that flow neuroscience have done their research and determined for whatever reasons that their schedule is best.
But according to my own research it is safe to use TDCS daily, having completed the course it would be nice if there was an option to de restrict usage more.
Also i always put on the pads before switching it on automatically, then it makes me take off the headset, take off the pads, put the pads back on, put on the headset.

Whoever made that thing with the ‘attach pads now’ should be banished to the fifth circle of hell! (Joking of course but it is very annoying!)

TL;DR it’s great for people starting out with TDCS for depression but for long term users, a lot of the training wheels end up becoming a time wasting hindrance.

Solution: have an options menu which unlocks after the course has been completed which gives you more freedom over your usage of the device.
-- Rapture🇬🇧, 2024-01-10

### ***** "5 sessions in"
I am now on my 5th session of Flow.  I decided to try Flow as I was already on antidepressant medications and due to family issues was also suffering from an amount of stress. Together they we’re getting on top   of me.  I have followed the app during my period  of stimulation, and have also followed the dietary advice and so far made small changes in my behaviour and doing different things as advised.   I realised that my lack of interest in food was probably exacerbating my feelings of lack of self worth . As of today I am feeling brighter, getting up earlier in a morning, eating proper food and the world doesn’t seem as dark.  I look forward to seeing what I feel like after the next set of 5 treatments.
-- 1873p, 2023-05-29

### *---- "Dissapointed"
The website said my headset would take 1-2 days to arrive, but it ended up taking 12 days. Dissapointed they weren’t honest about how long dispatch and delivery would take. I’d really hoped the headset and therapy would help, but sadly they’ve had no noticeable effect
-- George Smith x, 2022-12-28

### ****- "**Updated Review"
I have changed my rating from 1 star to 4 stars. This is due to a change in how they offer their equipment. I feel it is now much fairer and gives a great choice to the buyer/patient/customer. 

In addition the app is free for all users, regardless of whether or not you have purchased the Tdcs device from them. This is very good of them and the quality of the app/therapy is high. 

PREVIOUS REVIEW 
Unfortunately like many companies they have just moved to a Subscription based model. This means they now charge a £175 up front cost for the actual device . Then a ‘treatment’ course which varies in cost and duration (2 months=£64, 6 months= £132, 12months = £192). (Which is essentially paying to turn the device on and undertake app-based CBT, which is a reasonable-though costly program ) they move you onto a ‘maintenance’ program (£23 per month-allows you to use the device twice a week ) which is compulsory or the device which you have already paid for is deactivated. See quote from their site: “  **After the care programme ends, you will be automatically enrolled in a follow-up maintenance care (2 stimulations per week) at the standard care rate of £23 / month. We will notify you of the automatic enrollment at least 2 weeks prior to the end of the care programme. After this, you can terminate the subscription at any time through Flow customer support. In case of termination, your Flow headset will be deactivated, and you will not be able to use it for further stimulation sessions until you renew your subscription.”** If you are depressed and desperate you may miss this change to their approach. I think it is very sad and unfortunate that they treat vulnerable customers/patients this way. I hope they change their policy, or, as with so many others who have treated their uses a bit like cash cows I’m sure the company will steadily suffer, and fade away.
-- Drmsimmons, 2022-05-08

### **--- "Bad product and application"
The app is filled with CBT courses that you can browse and go through at your own pace. Pretty much all courses are self explanatory and don’t offer much in terms of knowledge or insight to a severely depressed patient. Furthermore, the headset gave me major discomfort and a very bad burning sensation that caused me to remove it. Terrible product and mediocre application too.
-- TheMainManME:D, 2022-05-04

### ***** "A really good kickstart to fighting depression"
This app is brilliant for being free. If you keep going with it and have a bit of motivation yourself, it’s a really good way to start fighting depression. I hope in the future they expand it to deal with anxiety, panic disorder even more specific mental health problems like OCD. I didn’t try the headset so I can’t comment on whether that’s an additional help or not.
-- hanrachgorms, 2022-03-23

### ****- "Great app"
This app really is a pleasure to use, not only is it helpful without feeling patronizing, it’s also beautifully designed. The information is clearly explained and split into manageable bite size courses so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. I’m using it alongside the headset device, and really my only complaint is that if I finish a stimulation session after midnight, then it won’t let me complete a session the next day. Today for example I finished my stimulation session at 00:03 before I went to bed, but it now won’t let me do a stimulation the next day which is throwing the whole schedule off. Due to work schedules not everyone runs on the usual 24 hour clock, and it would be useful if there was a setting to alter that cut off time, so then if someone’s day ends at 4am then it won’t consider it the next day until after then.
-- QueenAlice88, 2021-09-13

### *---- "Buggy"
I can’t use the app because when you create an account the keyboard to enter the password doesn’t appear! You can’t enter anything at all. 

Useless
-- Rich1701a, 2021-01-29

### ***** "Flow"
Its very good.
-- Mickey98four, 2021-01-14

### ***** "Mr"
Good 😌
-- Jamaicaaa, 2020-12-12

### ***** "Thank you"
I’ve been wanting to harm my self for years and years I have never been properly happy and I thought I never will be. But after using this app I can see a ray of light in my future to help me become a more happier person. Thank you so much for this supportive app.
-- Evie:3, 2020-01-15

### ***** "Like the evidence based"
I've been downloading and trying a ton of these apps for depression, and most are moderately useless. A particular peeve of mine is that most don't tell you why you should do something, are hyper focused on either mood tracking or meditation, and have noisy videos that make it embarrassing to use them anywhere public. This one has a good user interface, seems to have some science behind it and critically - it is silent by default. Best so far and free is a good price point.
-- 12otter4, 2019-11-23

### ****- "Love it but wish there was a way to reset your progress"
I started this in May and it was amazing and very helpful but I stopped before reaching the end as I felt really better. Now I’m wanting to start back up again and it’s still got the process from May and although I can go back to the beginning I’ve lost the day progression as it says that the next ones a due today
-- sc8123, 2019-11-04

### ***** "Flow neuroscience"
Get the headset and get better, it’s that simple! Built in meditation and cbt. Absolutely revolutionary!
