I have "treatment resistant depression" and I was researching alternatives to ECT online. I came across the new treatment offered by Neurostar: rTMS. I've heard there are mixed findings as to whether it works or it's just the placebo effect. My doctor immediately dismissed it as something that could not possibly work. However, he's been using ECT forever to treat treatment resistant depression. I would love to hear the opinions of other more open minded MDs. Please help! Thank you!
