Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that has been gaining favor as a viable tool in Psychiatry. The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidence of tDCS as a treatment of disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Current findings indicate that tDCS is probably effective in non-treatment-resistant depressive patients. Regarding schizophrenia and OCD, present evidence is not robust enough, although preliminary results indicate that tDCS is a promising technique. Therefore, more trials are needed before using tDCS in a clinical setting.
经颅直流电刺激（tDCS）是一种非侵入性脑刺激技术，作为精神病学中一种可行的工具正越来越受到青睐。本综述的目的是总结经颅直流电刺激作为治疗抑郁症、精神分裂症和强迫症（OCD）等疾病的证据。目前的研究结果表明，经颅直流电刺激可能对非难治性抑郁症患者有效。关于精神分裂症和强迫症，目前的证据还不够充分，尽管初步结果表明经颅直流电刺激是一种有前景的技术。因此，在临床环境中使用经颅直流电刺激之前还需要更多的试验。
