A breakthrough just landed: regulators greenlit a brain stimulation headset people can use at home for depression treatment. We're talking gentle electrical pulses sent straight to the brain—no pills involved. Health professionals are calling this a major shift. It basically cracks open mental health care beyond the traditional prescription model. Could this signal how decentralized, at-home medical tech reshapes entire treatment frameworks? The implications stretch wider than just psychiatry.

Coming back to mess with your head? Isn't this just like bringing the hospital home? It feels a bit creepy.

Holy crap, isn't this just brain hashing? Is the next step brainwave NFTs? I should have bought stocks related to this kind of medical hardware concept long ago.

ngl if this thing really works, it would be a game-changer, directly bypassing the pharmaceutical giants... but I still want to know what the long-term side effects are, electrocuting the brain sounds a bit intense.

No way, electrocuting the brain to treat depression? That sounds a bit crazy... but on second thought, it seems way more enjoyable than taking medication every day.
