Pdf Summary
The document provides information about transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders such as major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate neurons in the brain. The document discusses the mechanism of action of TMS, the different types of TMS coils, and the evidence supporting its efficacy and safety. It also highlights the side effects and adverse events associated with TMS, as well as contraindications and eligibility criteria for TMS treatment. The document emphasizes that TMS is not the same as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and wearable magnets or at-home stimulators. It also mentions ongoing research on the use of TMS for other psychiatric conditions such as anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance use disorders, and schizophrenia. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of insurance coverage for TMS and providing resources for further information and support.
