Emory Healthcare has started a TMS study for patients suffering from depression. This video features a patient who has suffered from depression for a number of years and is exploring other alternatives because medications didn't work for her.
Speakers: Dr. William M. McDonald, Fuqua Chair of Psychiatry at Emory and Barbara Powell, Patient Suffering from Depression
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!!!
