  • Eternal sunshine. Bring it on.

  • This seems plausible that it will work for some people. I have noticed a long time ago that a thunderstorm will change my mood and increase my sex drive which is usually non exsisent.. It seems to activate something inside my brain.

  • Sorry but this smacks of quackery! I have researched Electromagnetic coupling mechanisms in bio-organisms, and there is definite evidence for some macro-effects (LF Mag field, stimulating osteoplast movement and efficacy, for instance). Blasting a good chunk of the pre-frontal area (the part of the brain used for logic and cognitive processes) with a pulsed Mag field is medieval. Very imprecise, with effects that are non-existent or mininal and barely understood. Electrotherapy anyone? Zzzztt!!!

  • 6 weeks and $12,000 later not a single change.

  • @rmd4021

    I am currently getting rTMS at my psychiatric clinic, in a small town in Sweden.

    I hope it can help me .. !

  • TMS therapy now offered at Dr. Kevin Kinback's Psychiatry office in Mission Viejo, CA
