Doctor gets TMS approved for teens
SUMMARY: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is now FDA-cleared for teens aged 15 and older as a non-medicated depression treatment. Dr. Melissa Ficki, a child and adult psychiatrist, highlights TMS as a significant advancement, providing an alternative for youth suffering from mental health disorders.
