NHS have a new headset that will RELIEVE depression | Stephen and Ellie give it a go

I will be surprised If this goes ahead, the doctors are not going to give up their pharma bucks from all those non effective meds they prescribe.

@Dougal Douglas it is immorally wrong to deny a patient any new treatments for depression if it works. I know big Pharmas are controlling everything but it should not be this way. It is not a 'gimmick', I've had RTMS, it works.

I had RTMS at Hospital in Northampton some years ago. I have Bipolar disorder and it helped me very much. It was administered at the Hospital for 1 month daily by specialist nurses. It's like a woodpecker tapping on your temple area for about 20 minutes as you just relax. It is less invasive than ECT which I refuse to have. I would say this is amazing and should be available on the NHS. Brilliant technology. This is called a 'Flo' machine and I actually bought one because I could use it at home. If you feel a deep depression coming on, you need 'top ups' to 'nip it in the bud'. I would recommend this to anyone with severe depression.

So the state provides an oppressive environment that makes us depressed and then the NHS gives us magic hats so we can cope with it; now I'm really depressed.

You are probably right but a suicidal depression is a medical emergency and some sort of intervention is needed quickly sometimes.

A healthy body, belonging to an actual community, a sense of purpose. Depression is akin to hibernation. When the environment requires you to do so, your body goes into battery saver mode. I have a healthy body and a sense of purpose, now I'm working on the community part, but that's hard living in London where everyone is foreign/doesn't speak my language properly.

[@dianegriffen2756]

Agree Jason. The US are *way* ahead of us in treating the cause for conditions like depression, ptsd, and the like - it's not rocket science. And even using this piece of equipment, in the majority of cases, the cause would *still* need to be addressed.

[@lizpettugani]

@Diane Griffen I agree but emergency interaction is needed when in a 'suicidal depression'.

[@jasonuren3479]

@@dianegriffen2756 Absolutely. The problem, at least part of it, is funding as always. I knew a woman who worked in mental health for the NHS. They were always grossly underfunded, and as a consequence, understaffed. So people needing care were put on ridiculous waiting lists, or didn't get any help at all. But there were multiple 'managers' in the department, with very healthy salaries. Strange how that seems to work.
