How much at the hospitals or hospital that you work in uh patient volumes are you seeing?
Is it sort of an everyday practice for you or kind of how common is it that you're that you're using ECT?
Kind of along those lines, you know, whether it's sort of availability or or the procedure itself, what do you see as maybe some of the the biggest limitations that are facing ECT today?
Yeah.
So informative.
And sharing all of your expertise.
It's it really makes a huge difference to have someone who like really knows we try our best, but let's be honest.
I know what questions you're gonna ask.
It's true.
It's true.
I know your brain.
So yes, TMS uh or transcranial magnetic stimulation uh is the other like thing that people often talk about when they're talking about ECT for especially affective disorders like depression.
Um technically it's R TMS because it's repetitive TMS, but that's uh neither here nor there.
Basically, this uses electromagnetic stimulation.
So using a really strong magnet to generate a magnetic field that's able to then induce an electric field in our brains and depolarize our neurons.
In the in some way, that's kind of the same thing that we're doing with ECT, just using a magnet.
Which means that the electric field that it's generating is not nearly as strong as it is in ECT, which means it's does not stimulate a seizure.
Okay.
What's interesting is they usually do it, um, they stimulate muscle contraction of the thumb.
And that's how they know that they're in the right spot and doing the right thing.
