Dear Elizabeth,
Thanks for your comment. Deep Brain Stimulation is different from shock therapy. It’s an operative procedure done by a neurosurgeon. Take care Dr Shock
I am seeking a mentor during my doctoral program at Walden University. This person has to be and meet all of the qualities Dr. Shock has mentioned in the above characteristics.
1} A system can never be in charge of processing in healthcare.It takes responsability away and the blame goes to the patient because he is not “standard”.
2} with responsability coming back the urge to detect flaws and prevent errors makes healthcare not only a lot safer but also knowledgeable.
It’s arduous to find educated folks on this topic, but you sound like you know what you’re speaking about! Thanks

[...] Effects of TMS on brain functions: 1.Single burst TMS instead of repetitive TMS applied to the visual cortex interferes with visual imaging (repeated stimulation=rTMS has a longer lasting effect than a sinle burst) 2. Stimulation of the right spot in the motor cortex causes the thumb to twitch (intensity calibration of the TMS stimulus, this is used before repetitive stimulation to other parts of the scalp (rTMS)) 3. Low frequency stimulation (1-5 pulses per second) depress brain activity, higher frequency stimulation (25 or more pulses per second) increases excitability. 4. Stimulation of the left prefrontal cortex with rTMS relieves depression in some patients who haven’t responded to other antidepressant treatments 5. Low frequency rTMS to the temporoparietal cortex (above the ear) reduces auditory hallucinations in Schizophrenia 6. rTMS treatment on speech areas of the brain can make people name picture at a faster rate 7. rTMS applied to motor regions of the brain facilitates lightening fast movements 8. rTMS applied to the prefrontal cortex compared to sham rTMS enhances solving of analogy puzzles, rTMS might facilitate thinking.

you know how, centuries ago, the best thing you could do to stay healthy was to stay away from a hospital? i feel the same way now, in some sense, about psychiatry. while i have benefited from therapy/skills training, i have had no benefit and much harm from psychiatric drugs. i’m not quite as young as the individuals in the study (but very close), and i feel that staying away from psychiatrists is probably a good plan. anatomy of an epidemic, by robert whitaker, solidified that feeling, which i had experienced for some time before reading the book. i think that if mental health treatment HELPED MORE, more young people would utilize these services.
Who doesn’t have a negative view of the health care system? Seriously, the mental health system needs to buy a lot of commercials if they are seeking to change these attitudes, just ‘educating people in contact with young adults’ is unlikely to do anything.
#1 Mental health services are stigmatized by society — you gotta be crazy to go there.
#2 Mental health profession is effectively a dispensary of anti-depressants and ritalin (for either annoying children or studious students). Diagnostic criteria is so broad and weak that you get what you ask for– you say you are depressed, you get anti-depressants, anxious then anti-anxiety, trouble concentrating then ADHD.
#3 Given #1, that most people only go there for severe issues, non-drug treatment seems to have little scientifically proven value, compared to no treatment or talking with friends. Hell, shamanistic cultures do better at preventing and curing major disorders.

Just a question for some casual research for those with a history of long term, severe depression – Have you found that your memory of the time period you were depressed is deficient? For example you can’t remember details about relationships or events as well as you feel you should, or you feel as though you have “lost time”?
I would not advertise for a technique that is non-specific, with great level of memory lost, relapses and huge claims such as a good treatment for so many different pathologies!
ECT temporary weakens the synaptic connections, so memories are greatly affected and temporary “relive” is observed! After a period of time most probably these synaptic instability gets back to it most stable position ( state of pre-treatment)and most subjects go back to their original state. I doubt if remission is high for ALL the pathologies undergoing this treatment!
I think approaches such as deep brain stimulation is more promising! The area of stimulation is more specific at(ex: BA-25 for depression), with No disturbance of memory! Even though number of subjects going through this process has been low compare to ECT, remissions at least in regards to treatment resistance depression has been encouraging.
What a great idea! I have depression and I get cravings for chocolate which I obey at all times..Just before I read your post I was reading up on GABA and the depressing effect having too little brings. I was doing this because I have foolishly taken Modafinil in the past to perk me up. This drug-as you may be aware-has the affect of inhibiting GABA and makes one depressed-if taken for too long. So I discovered the other type of depression (suffered-I guess-in Bi-polar), much worse than the type caused by lack of Serotonin. Apologies for off loading this on your page, but what you had quoted about GABA confirmed my hunch about my trial with Modafinil. I now take GABA supplements to restore my depleted reserves. Someone else who reads your page may be helped if they read your article and scroll to my ramblings. Thank you.

This is a useful and thorough video on ECT. Any thoughts on TMS? It seems like a more mild alternative to ECT. It’s still pretty new, so not sure how that’s working on patients.

I’ve read mostly positive posts about TMS. It’s good to get an alternative view. Aside from treatment of depression, I’ve heard it can also address symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, and some level of ADD/ADHD with favorable results. Does that sound viable or just marketing from the industry?
Actually, ECT can help with depression and some other mental illnesses. It is only temporary, but it still lasts a long time. It’s only meant for severe cases. Just because it has caused brain damage doesn’t mean that it always does. ECT has proven to work about 80% of the time. I’m researching it now for my psychology class. The memory loss goes away most of the time, within a month. Cheryl, please don’t misinform the community about something you haven’t even tried to research.
I am under consideration for a neurostimulator. Was looking for any negative info I can find about thedoctor and fornd this site. Why is it named neurostimulating blog? Was there a bad experience involved here??

Great points. I just wish it didn’t end with a pitch for me to purchase a book with even more information.
