FDA Approves New Neural Therapy for Depression

Yikes!
The FDA approved a new therapy for treatment resistant depression, the NeuroStar TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) Therapy system. The TMS therapy stimulates brain cells by delivering magnetic impulses.
"Patients treated with NeuroStar TMS Therapy do not require anesthesia or sedation and remain awake and alert. It is a 40-minute outpatient procedure that is prescribed by a psychiatrist and performed in a psychiatrist’s office. The treatment is typically administered daily for 4-6 weeks" (Nauert).
I'm all for getting treatment for depression, but this is very scary.
