BIPOLAR DISORDER COMMUNITY
TMS

TMS

TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for treatment-resistant depression. Anyone tried it/ heard of someone who did? Were you/he/she/they happy with the results? I had a consultation today with a doctor who has been using TMS since it first appeared on the mood disorder treatment scene, but I wanted to ask if anyone out there has some opinions or stories of their own on it. I'm just so exhausted, I'm having a lot of trouble thinking properly about this. Many thanks.

Well I almost entered a clinical study for TCMS it before it was FDA approved for what was then treatment refractory schizophrenia. Now it is in clinical study for tardive and once its approved I would most probably undergo it.As for its use on mood stabilization its effectiveness basically approaches that of ECT without the short term and long term side effects of concern such as memory loss so it seems well worthwhile. However, like ECT. I am not sure if its effect is long term (it generally has to be done at regular intervals) but you could ask your psychiatrist about that. I am not sure if you will find anyone here who has undergone the procedure but this information would be considered clinically accurate and you could discuss it with your psychiatrist:'
