Dr. Jonathan Downar presents an update on recent progress in using rTMS to treat depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and eating disorders at the Toronto Western Hospital site of UHN. New techniques allow significantly faster, less costly, and more effective treatment for a much larger volume of patients. Recent brain-imaging research also sheds light on the mechanisms by which rTMS treats psychiatric illness, and may lead to an MRI-based test for predicting treatment outcome in individual patients.
