Materials and Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study and its research design was pre-test and post-test with a control group.

Experimental groups underwent treatment for 10 sessions. In the pre-test and post-test stages, all participants completed the Beck Depression Inventory. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test. Significance level was considered p <0.05.
Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in the pre-test stage (p = 0.639) but in the post-test stage there was a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.001). The results of Bonferroni post hoc test showed that there was a significant difference between ECT group with tDCS (p = 0.001) and ECT with control (p = 0.0001) and tDCS with control (p = 0.0001).
