I've been using flow for 7 weeks now…
I've been using flow for 7 weeks now for my depression and have see little to no improvements. I've held on past the 4 week period as apparently you see better results closer to the 10 week mark. I don't get any side effects, apart from marks on my skin, which is to be expected and it goes away within the hour, so thats a positive. Bit of a shame it hasn't worked for me. I had high hopes for it after seeing other reviews, but wanted to share my honest opinion here. I should have returned it within the 4 week window.
Much Less Effective on Anxiety
A company clearly more concerned with buy now, ask questions later.
The device is more potent than many medications, yet there is simply no clear medical guidance or even a pre-questionnaire to fill out before any potential purchase.
It may well work for some for users fighting depression however it's data for helping anxiety is much lower. I sent mine back after countless side effects (hot flushes, high heart rate, shakey hands). Anxiety went through the roof and thus it's a NO from me. Now just hoping these new side effects also reduce as still fighting them after only 1 week of use.
Life changing for me !!
I honestly cannot recommend the Flow headset enough. I was initially quite skeptical, but the experience has genuinely exceeded my expectations.
After using Flow consistently, I noticed a clear and meaningful improvement in my overall mental well-being. I feel calmer, more balanced and much better able to deal with everyday stress. What impressed me most is that the effect wasn’t just something I noticed for a day or two…with consistent use, it became something I could genuinely feel in my daily life.
I was skeptical as clinically depressed…
I was skeptical as clinically depressed with general anxiety disorder my entire adult life. I am in my 14th week and my depression/anxiety scores indicate I am no longer clinically depressed nor anxious. I think I am experiencing what normality feels like. I am happy and hopeful and looking forward to the future.
Effective and side effect free
This device gives me the same effect as anti depressants but without side effects. I find it amazingly effective and have done for a couple years now.
Completely life transforming when nothing else has worked
I have had psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, regression therapy, post-traumatic stress therapy, CBT, NLP and have read more self-help books than I can list. Nothing has made much of a difference to 53 years of living with depression, anxiety and PTSD.
This May, I began Flow. I had no expectation that it would work at all and felt fairly sure it was a scam. Sticking a headset on seemed ludicrous, but there was nothing else left to try. Since then, my life has completely changed. I have found a sense of calm that everyone I know has noticed. It has been a completely, utterly life-changing experience. I have tried to find another way to explain the metamorphosis I have been through, but nothing other than Flow has changed in my life.
I am now eating healthily, exercising regularly, and relaxing properly. My life is balanced, and I am learning what it is like to live free of distress. More than anything, I have had to endure reliving nightmares most nights of the week for 53 years. Since May, I have had only one. Watching my score improve over time feels amazing, and the course has made subtle yet permanent shifts in every area of my life.
I find it impossible to understand how it can work. I understand the course, but not the headset. It feels like a strange concept, but I know that it has worked for me. It feels like a gentle tingle on the temples with no negative side effects for me. The positive side effects, though, have been transformative. Flow is not just life-enhancing; it is like a bomb that resets everything, making my life immeasurably better.
I have found the company to be supportive and genuinely caring, with faultless customer service. I cannot thank them enough.
Great customer service
Great customer service. Out of the blue they told me I'd overpaid on my subscription and refunded me £50. I can't think of many places that would do this.
Life changing
Life changing. After my first session, I slept a full night uninterrupted. I felt a calmness and overall sense of well-being throughout the next day.
This morning I used it whilst in the middle of a panic attack and within 8 minutes, it had completely stopped it. The trembling stopped, my mind was calm, my breathing was normal and the nausea had stopped. It usually takes hours to recover to that level.
Flow neuroscience - a game changer for me
I have been using flow neuroscience since January 2026. I had heard about it a couple of years ago. I have been struggling with my mental health since I had a mental breakdown in 2018 after the sudden death of my Mum. I was on fluoxetine for 7 years. I decided to come down off fluoxetine but a year off it I realised I was spiralling. My Dad died and I knew I needed some help but I did not want to go back on medication. I decided to give flow neuroscience a go. I read up on it as much as I could. I can honestly say that it has helped me so much. I noticed a difference after the first 3 weeks had passed. I did suddenly spiral again in April this year. I contacted the help team via email and had an immediate very reassuring email from the team. They supported me and encouraged me to reset the device and start the programme again. Which I did and I am now in the maintenance phase again and using flow 3 times a week. I have had no side effects, it’s so easy to use and I know it is helping me incredibly. The team at flow are so helpful and encouraging and will help support you with any queries or questions. I can’t recommend this enough. If you’ve had enough of your depression then you have nothing to lose. Try flow. It’s changed everything for me and so many others.
This is a two part review.
This is a two part review.
The company Flow Neuroscience: At all stages of contacting them, they are helpful, professional and knowledgeable of the product and app. The people are empathetic and kind, (vital when supporting those with MH issues).
The product: Easy enough to set up, you instal the app, charge the headset and follow the guidance.
The headset is expensive and the pads seem a very expensive add on and revenue generator for the company.
The headset isn't the greatest of quality I'd have expected from a £400 product. Is does the job but could have been designed to a much higher spec to match the price tag.
I don't accept that the pads can be used once only, that is incredibly wasteful and not at all Green friendly.
I re-use and simply rinse and re-hydrate the pads with distilled water.
Onto the important bit. Do they work? I my case yes.
OMG I love the flow head set
OMG I love the flow head set, make a huge difference to the mental health and wellbeing, I dose increase your ability to cope with stress as well as increase motivation, I have to use in continuously as in the 5 days 2 off for 3 weeks then 2 days, I feel my self slip if I don’t but soon comes under control after using the head set, after using the head set I find it easier to sleep, it’s been a real game changer in my life after losing my husband, you can’t put a price on your health but the head set is a real game changer for the better
I found that using the flow headset…
I found that using the flow headset improved my mood significantly over a period of time. I'm now part of a talking group that I attend most weeks and that's helped enormously, but having the flow headset gives me the confidence that its there when I need it.
Well worth trying
This is one of the few products I have tried which has definitely helped and I know mental health professionals who are suggesting it to their clients. Whilst it's not cheap, if you compare the price of therapy over time it's not expensive. Service is excellent and pad refill ordering is very swift. Don't forget to claim the VAT discount if you have a relevant diagnosis.
I know all about the Black Dog
I know all about the Black Dog. The first time he came calling was when I was about eleven and I had started a new school just when my grandad died. I got over it with time. But a pattern of anxiety had obviously been established in my body. So, when my wife died at 26 (I was 30), it was inevitable that Black Dog would come calling again. I described it at the time to my aunt. I feel like someone has draped a wet blanket on top of me and I cannot get it off. I survived with time, SSRIs and counselling and the love of a mother.
The latest episode of depression was just as I retired a couple of months ago. I would not wish depression on my worst enemy. I did think about suicide or at least someone in my brain did. But I thought you know what, I am stronger for having been through what I have already been through. I am NOT giving up. I have used the Flow device for three weeks now and am beginning to feel more upbeat. On day one I had an optimistic thought but you do need to give the process time. Flow was just a part of the recovery though. Nature, walks, sunlight, good food, sleep, probiotics, reading books and the love of a good woman also help the process.
I would say this device is a literal life saver and with so many men (and ladies) suffering, it should be readily available to everyone.
I have been using the Flo headset for…
I have been using the Flo headset for 12 weeks and I am gutted to say it hasn’t worked for me. I still feel low the next day after using it and I still don’t feel any improvements, apparently you feel worse before you feel better but it’s now 3 months no motivation and still suffering from low mood.I have decided to quit it all together but I am so gutted I feel like I have lost £400 plus the cost of pads and wasted my time. It also slightly burns my skin despite changing the pads every time. I realise it has worked for a lot of people and that’s great good luck to them. I would suggest renting first to see if it’s for you because it’s too expensive to buy if it isn’t going to work.
I have been using the headset for a few…
I have been using the headset for a few weeks now and I am finding a definite improvement in my form. I actually look forward to the 30minute sessions. My family have noticed the change already. Joey in Flow's customer service is second to none which inspires my confidence in the product even more. I am so glad that I tried it.
This presents a critical impediment.
Upon receiving the headset, I initially harbored reservations regarding my readiness to commence. It is imperative to recognise the significance of individual timing in such endeavors.
Approximately four weeks after the acquisition of Flow, I initiated a strategic planning phase to define my objectives and assess their feasibility.
I approached this undertaking with considerable apprehension, uncertain of the potential outcomes or the efficacy of the program.
Having now completed three weeks, I am profoundly impressed by the tangible, intensive, and effective impact Flow has had on me within this brief timeframe.
My alertness has significantly improved, my concentration is noticeably sharper, and my social interactions have become more frequent, as observed by my peers.
I had not anticipated regaining my previous level of sociability. I must acknowledge the remarkable feeling of this transformation, and while it represents a subtle shift, I am confident in the potential for further personal growth and enhancement.
I am genuinely surprised and pleased by the effectiveness of this program thus far. My mood had been considerably low, and the ability to experience and perceive with clarity again, for the first time in years, is truly remarkable.
I extend my sincere gratitude to the innovators behind this therapeutic tool; their achievement is commendable. I am beginning to reconnect with the person I was prior to experiencing a sense of detachment and loss.
This experience is proving to be thoroughly enjoyable and manageable. I highly recommend that all users complete the provided assessments, as they offer significant benefits.
Thank you, Flowneuroscience.
Customer Service is AMAZING
Customer Service is AMAZING
I started using the Headset a few months ago and with one thing and another and being quite unwell I stopped. I have now purchased the Headset and am going to try extremely hard and discipline myself to use it properly. Having read the reviews it is so lovely to hear such positive feedback from so many users and hope it continues for them and for me too. I have to give a massive Thank You to Tapas for all the support given to me and if the bosses of Flow are listening a very big payrise would be in order for Tapas who has been amazing. Thank You 💖
Totally Life Changing makes a Huge…
Totally Life Changing makes a Huge difference!! Highly recommended By me
Thank you for inventing This VERY useful device!! DIY SOS device for Our Home 🏡🛟🧠🆘🧠🛟🙏🏼
Life changing.
Very few things in life are game-changing.
Flow is one of those things.
It has dramatically improved my depression about 80% - I honestly thought I would NEVER say that, but it only took a few days of using it for my mood to dramatically improve.
I am 100 times more resilient, positive and calmer - most importantly I don't get the massive downers I used to get where I felt really low.
It has changed my life, enabling me to do so much more professionally and personally.
I am so grateful for this product after spending 18 years and thousands of pounds on CBT and other solutions that didn't fix the issue.
Thank you to Flow and its creators.
You have changed my life.
