2) Transcranial magnetic stimulation This treatment is second to ECT in quality of data. Transcranial magnetic stimulation doesn’t require anesthesia or induce a seizure like ECT. Instead it creates a magnetic field that produces an electric current in a specific area of the brain. It’s typically used for mild to moderate depression. The Food and Drug Administration has approved one device called the NeuroStar TMS to treat depression, which may be used after one antidepressant has failed.
