Event Registration

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, is a non-invasive therapy that stimulates brain neurons using a pulsed magnetic field. First cleared by the FDA in 2008 for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder, TMS is a non-drug treatment option that is widely available in a variety of outpatient settings nationwide. Recent advances in TMS research have led to FDA clearance for the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and smoking cessation. Transcranial magnetic stimulation continues to evolve as an innovative, nonpharmacologic intervention and is also being studied as a potential treatment for bipolar depression, schizophrenia, PTSD, and other addictive disorders. This 30-minute presentation will include a brief Q&A session. Please note: This is a complimentary non-CE event.

The webinar begins at 8:30AM PDT.
