FDA Approves First At-Home Depression Treatment Device

The FDA has approved a new headset called FL-100 that helps treat depression at home.

It sends a gentle electric current to the part of the brain that controls mood.

This device is meant for adults with moderate to severe depression.

It's not a drug, so it doesn't have the same side effects as antidepressants.

The company that made it, Flow Neuroscience, says it's been used by over 55,000 people in other countries.

In tests, about 58% of people who used it felt much better.

It costs between $500 and $800, and you'll be able to buy it in the US starting in mid-2026.
