    Abstract: In an example, physiological signal(s) are received from physiological sensor(s) configured to measure at least one physiological property of a user. An arousal of at least one characteristic of at least one treatment resistant mood disorder is detected through employment of an estimation method based at least in part on at least one of the physiological signal(s). A value for at least one of a plurality of stimulation parameters is selected based at least in part on at least one of the physiological signal(s). An electric field based at least in part on the arousal is produced. The electric field is configured to stimulate at least a portion of a median nerve of the user transcutaneously. The electric field is based at least in part on at least some of the plurality of stimulation parameters.
