The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of direct electrical stimulation from the skull on depression symptoms in men suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder in war. The research design was a semi-experimental design with repeated tests. The sample included 15 patients with post-traumatic stress disorder men who were admitted to the Delaram Psychiatric Hospital and were voluntarily and voluntarily selected. The instrument used in this study was Beck's 21-item depression questionnaire. Subjects were first subjected to pretest and then subjects received 12 sessions of electrical stimulation therapy (TDCS). After receiving each 4 sessions of treatment, subjects were assessed once by a depression questionnaire. The results showed that the difference in mean scores of subjects in different levels of application of independent variable was significant (P <0.001). The symptoms of depression in subjects with repeated actions of electrical stimulation from the skull have decreased relative to the pre-test.
