Isn't that interesting?
One of the big benefits, though, of TMS compared to ECT is that the risk of cognitive effects like memory loss is substantially lower.
We basically don't see it.
We don't see the same types of amnesia that we see with ECT.
However, most of the data does suggest that while it is probably effective and more effective than placebo, it is still not as effective as ECT in terms of remission and response.
Um especially for depressive disorders, which is mostly what we're using TMS for.
There's also sometimes people will talk about other things like DBS or deep brain stimulation or VNS, which is vagal nerve stimulation.
These are things that we mostly use for either like Parkinson's in the case of DBS or refractory epilepsy in the case of VNS, but these like require the implantation of devices.
And so those are kind of different.
Yeah.
Um, and then there's also interest in actually using magnetic stimulation to induce seizures.
Okay.
Okay.
To see if that somehow by using magnets to induce the electric field
And then also get the seizure, which we know is the main thing that's giving us benefit in ECT, does that have less memory effects?
Um, but as far as I could tell, that's still just in the research realm.
So we don't have like availability of that yet.
It's a great question, though.
And you know what?
People might have so many more questions after this.
