Unlock the Power of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in Psychiatric Practice

Edited by pioneers in the field of TMS, this comprehensive guide is a must-have for mental health practitioners seeking to integrate this innovative treatment modality into their practice. As treatment resistance continues to be a major challenge in psychiatric disorders, TMS offers a promising solution, and this book provides the evidence-based foundation needed to harness its efficacy and safety.

The Challenge of Treatment Resistance

It is increasingly clear that a complex interplay of biological, neurobehavioral, and symptomatic factors contributes to treatment resistance in psychiatric disorders. Fortunately, neuromodulation approaches such as TMS are providing new avenues for clinicians to combat these challenges.

Filling the Knowledge Gap

Despite its rapid growth, many practitioners remain unclear about how to effectively utilize TMS in their practice. This book fills a significant knowledge gap, providing clinicians with a systematic and thorough guide on how to:
