The FL-100 headset is a possible a treatment option for people
that have moderate to severe depression. Well in Europe, UK
and Australia, that is true. Hopefully it is coming some time
soon for folks in the U.S.
I should mention that it is expensive and it will only be
available via prescription from a doctor or medical provider. This
is short episode that gives a brief overview of the product.
Resources Mentioned:
I found the news story about the FL-100 on
Reuter.com.
There is a video of a young woman
giving her view about the product. She only
has one video on her YouTube page but it might give you a real
world perspective about the device.
If you would like to visit the
Flow Neuroscience website, please be aware it is
directed to the UK and European marketplace. You can learn about
the product but they do not have a U.S. specific website
set
