Conditions

Depressive disorder

Interventions

10HZ IF stimulation:10HZ IF stimulation: 10Hz IF stimulation (total 2400 sec): ramp-up (30 sec) => stimulation (10Hz , 1.6mA channel 1’s electrode pair
2.4mA channel 2’s electrode pair, 4mA total, 2340 sec) => ramp-down (30 sec)
20HZ IF stimulation:20HZ IF stimulation: 20Hz IF stimulation (total 2400 sec): ramp-up (30 sec) => stimulation ( 10Hz , 1.6mA channel 1’s electrode pair
Sham stimulation :Sham stimulation (total 2400 sec): Electrodes will be placed on the head in the same locations as IF Intervention

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) 18-65 years old, regardless of gender; 2) The ability to provide written informed consent prior to the commencement of any research-related proceedings; 3) BDI>10(mild to severe depression) at the time of screening; 4) did not start taking any psychotropic drugs within 4 weeks prior to screening; 5) Able to stick to tasks and interventions; 6) Be able to understand and comply with research requirements as determined by the investigator.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion Criteria - Patients will be excluded if they: 1. currently take medications that potentially limit the IF efficacy 2. have a non-correctable clinically significant sensory impairment (i.e., cannot hear well enough to cooperate with naturalistic emotion task) 3. have any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator(s), would adversely affect the subject's ability to complete the study or its measure 4. wear a hairstyle or headdress that prevents electrode contact with the scalp or would interfere with the stimulation (e.g., thick braids , hair weave, afro, wig)
