Woah this is incredible! How much did that treatment she got cost??

[@sunset33533]

I need to look this up :) This sounds awesome. I use a lot of mindfulness meditation now, using books like 30 Days to Reduce Depression by Harper Daniels and The Body Keeps the Score by Kolk.

[@chrisbrown2211]

So what was the treatment she got?

[@SirDude555]

Interesting, on a sidenote, I couldn't help notice as he was explain "she basically wouldn''t look at you while talking and did this back and forth rocking..." I noticed he too doesn't look Tim in the eyes and rocks or bounces in the chair. Just saying.

[@EddyLeeKhane]

She barely talked too, so it's different for him

[@ChotaDoctor1122]

It's not just body language,..we assess their emotions by empathizing with the patient.....their speech pattern,microexpressions,microemotions -that thru subtly express..

Same thoughts during watching the video)

What’s the presenter’s name? Name of device? Anybody? Thx!

[@jackthegiankiller]

Dr. Noland Williams, MD, of Stanford University, the treatment modality is called TMS, Trancranial Magnetic Stimulation.

[@alexandramcleod2079]

Wow he really triggers me by hardly ever looking at Tim! What is that about I wonder?

[@michellejames5953]

How incredible!

[@joaodfbravo]

Does this work for OCD behaviour?

[@mrpotifar]

Mostly for depression and bipolar

[@joaodfbravo]

@@mrpotifar Yeah guess only deep brain stimulation might actually target the right areas for OCD

[@mrpotifar]

@@joaodfbravo For OCD, CBT might be the best option. New behaviour needs to be learned.

[@jackthegiankiller]

Yes, TMS, Trancranial Magnetic Stimulation has been shown to be effective for OCD Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, "TMS was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2008 as an alternative treatment for Major Depression Disorder, and has been shown to decrease the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Anxiety Disorders." To find these research findings published by NIH, search for, "Transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of anxiety disorder, Priscila Aparecida Rodrigues".

[@joaodfbravo]

@@mrpotifar Yeah, you're right. ERP is still the golden standard. I was wondering about this stimulation for treatment-resistant cases.
