Is anyone planning on doing TMS? In my area, there are only 2 clinics that do this. I am interested in doing this, but the data does not look promising at least not more than medication.
When it becomes more widely accepted, I think we'll have more research on finding different brain regions to target based on different clinical presentations.
I think the problem with these sorts of concepts is how difficult they would be to achieve in most typical community settings. Even if there is something to the research and it specifies treatment options in a more targeted approach, who is going to *accurately* tease out the 'different clinical presentations' and then effectively tie it back to the pertinent research? I'm going to see psychopharm followups at 45 minutes a pop and I don't have confidence I can do that very well for many patients. So I seriously doubt some psych np who is running through 98023's as fast as the cmhc cracking the whip who found her through an agency will allow is going to do it all that well....
There is stronger evidence that supports biofeedback. I have read through only a little of the literature however. I go to a neuropsychologist for neurofeedback. It is used more for anxiety, performance, insomnia. The percentage of getting help for depression is about 20%Since we're talking about TMS, what about biofeedback?
Not FDA approved.how about ketamine infusions?

psychologists/other providers sure make a lot of money doing this. A provider can see a whole bunch of patients at the same time.
