The Wall Street Journal says that "there are now approximately 50 Deep TMS systems in various stages of installation, implementation and customer training. Brainsway also advised that, based on the current number of new system orders outstanding and the continuing strong interest shown by psychiatrists, clinics and medical centers, the Company estimates that it will complete the installation and customer implementation of approximately 100 Deep TMS systems for commercial use by the end of 2013."

After ECT is completely phased out, and all those who have endured it are long since gone, there will be an admission of just how barbaric it was.
Let us now phase ourselves on to increasingly palatable alternatives.

Neurofeedback clinicians refer to ECT as "kicking the TV set." Of course no one kicks TV sets these days -- that only helped back in the days of vacuum tubes.

My entire head is a vacuum tube.
Barbaric? Desperate? Effective?
It depends upon who you talk to.
I had a series of 15 ECT treatments without benefit. I doubt that I would do it again. I don't like to exclude possibilities, though.
