- 20 to 34: moderate depression
- more than 34: severe depression.

If you want to remove their profile permanently, go to “Remove patient from clinic” in the Treatment Status section in their profile.
You’ll only be able to see their information once they have connected their account to your clinic. They will receive an email and a notification asking them to connect.

In the section “Stimulation schedule” you can edit the schedule by either creating a custom schedule or resetting their schedule to the original 5 sessions per week for 3 weeks, followed by 3 sessions per week.
The stimulation schedule is divided into two parts: Activation and Strengthening.
Note that if a patient stimulates less than the scheduled number of sessions in the Activation Phase, these sessions will be added to future weeks.
IMPORTANT: Discuss any planned changes to the stimulation programme with your patient.
If you reset the patient’s stimulation schedule, they will receive the initial stimulation schedule of 5 sessions for 3 weeks, followed by 3 sessions per week.
