The video from CBS News Pittsburgh discusses a new treatment for depression called Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS). This non-invasive procedure uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, Deep TMS targets the brain directly and has shown promising results in patients who have not responded to other treatments.
The segment highlights Dr. Steven Forman of AHN Center of Psychiatric Neuromodulation describing the technology and clinical outcomes. It also features a patient outlining her treatment experience, showcasing Deep TMS as a viable option for managing depression.
