Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was effective, safe, and well tolerated as add-on treatment for bipolar depression in the first randomized sham-controlled double-blind study of tDCS in bipolar depression. Compared with sham tDCS, active tDCS was associated with superior improvement in depressive symptoms and did not induce more manic/hypomanic episodes, the investigators report.

Many pediatricians agree that early mental health screenings are important; however, few providers are actually conducting these screenings in their own practices. In a new study published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers have found that if pediatricians were to receive the right training and support, they would be far more likely to carry out mental health screenings during children’s annual checkups.
