Behind the Magnet: Understanding the Mechanisms of TMS Therapy


Listen Later

Join us as we explore the world of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with experts Dr. Barry Jones and Dr. Shristi Shrestha. Discover how TMS, a non-invasive treatment, uses magnetic pulses to activate specific brain neurons, targeting conditions like major depressive disorder, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Learn about the effectiveness of TMS compared to other therapies, the criteria for TMS treatment, and its potential side effects. Dr. Jones provides insights into the history of TMS, insurance coverage, and its role in addressing treatment-resistant depression. The episode also touches on alternative treatments like ketamine and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
