what is rTMS
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a safe way of changing the brain chemistry by using magnets. It has been tested and has minimized the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms of life-threatening fearful memories that interfere with everyday life for some people. It has been presented to the FDA for approval for the treatment of certain anxiety and depressive disorders, because of the meurochemical changes it offers withou any of the side-effects of drugs or surgery. Researchers have shown in 2008 that untreatable depression has been shown a 78% success rate after only 21 according to Dutch research, reported by the Canadian Psychological Association. It has shown to be effective in the treatment of physical conditions, such as Lazy Eye, according to Columbia University, University of Texas, and others.
