In reply to FDA approves Deep TMS for depression, posted by Hugh on January 11, 2013, at 11:34:32
> The TMS currently available in the US only penetrates about 1.5 cm into the brain. This new Deep TMS from Brainsway penetrates much deeper -- 6 or 7 cm, so it can target the brain's reward system directly, instead of indirectly with the old TMS system. Deep TMS has been available in Europe for three years.

This is great news!Medicare might be impelled to cover it now.
If I hadn't responded to medication, I would have tried TMS a year ago. I still may if I reach a sticking-point. Perhaps TMS would accelerate the healing process.
