I have had depression for many years and
have been thinking about transcranial magnetic stimulation. Do you have any
thoughts?
In the last decade, doctors have been
inserting electrodes in the brain for people with a variety of mental health
disorders. The latest mental health disorder which is being treated with
electrode stimulation of the brain is depression. The electrodes are placed in
specific parts of the brain and stimulated at low or high frequencies. None of
the surgeries are covered by medical insurance and surgery does have its own
complications. So does this technique help?
Current analysis of the studies indicate
that Transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression is just a little bit
better than rubbish. The conclusion is that the treatment is only a choice for
people who have failed all other treatments and have no other options left.
However, you still need to have lots of money to undergo this surgery and some
of the complications are worse than your depression-so think hard before you
jump from the frying pain into the fire. Do not believe everything that doctors’
claim-medicine is after all a business.
