Dr. H sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Fenstermacher, Medical Director of the TMS Clinic at the University of Colorado- Anschutz to explore the growing role of TMS and neuromodulation in psychiatry. They explore questions such as:

•Who are the best candidates for TMS?
•What are the relative merits of intensive TMS (SAINT) vs standard protocols?
•How might TMS and ketamine work together to promote psychiatric stability?
