For these patients – whose transcranial magnetic stimulation for psychiatric symptoms persist – there are few remaining treatment options. Such treatment resistance leads to disorders among health care professionals. unnecessary patient suffering and high public health care costs. This workshop will involve an introduction to the CAMH is Canada’s leading academic centre in mental health. The Temerty Centre for Therapeutic Brain history of TMS and a review of the current technology. Intervention at CAMH is one of the largest non-invasive brain stimulation treatment centres in the world. Additionally, participants will be provided the The clinical populations that are presently investigated, include depression, bipolar disorder, , opportunity to observe sessions in real-time, practice OCD, and PTSD. These non-invasive brain stimulation treatments include repetitive transcranial magnetic finding resting motor threshold, as well as administer a stimulation (rTMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), magnetic seizure therapy (MST), and session of rTMS. electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
