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. Unlike ECT, TMS is non-invasive and works by sending magnetic pulses to the brain regions involved in emotional regulation, helping to activate underactive neurons. This treatment aims to make mental health solutions more accessible, offering families another option besides medication and therapy. Experts hope to expand TMS approval for younger patients and additional mental health conditions in the future.

SUMMARY: ABC Action News meteorologist Greg provides a tropical weather update, noting that conditions in the Western Caribbean are being monitored closely. Current model data is variable, but the Hurricane Center indicates a moderate chance of storm development in the Northwest Caribbean or Southern Gulf of Mexico next week. The timing and track of potential storms remain uncertain, with any United States impacts likely occurring by the weekend. Additionally, there are low-pressure areas in the Atlantic, including remnants of Gordon, but development chances are low, and these systems will likely be steered eastward by cold fronts.

SUMMARY: Fox 35 Storm Team meteorologist is tracking a potential hurricane developing next week in the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, there are three areas of interest, with the Caribbean area having a 40% chance of tropical development. While models are uncertain, favorable conditions for storm formation include warm waters and light wind shear. Two scenarios are possible: a cold front could steer the system toward Florida, or a high-pressure ridge might push it westward towards Texas or Louisiana. Historical patterns suggest Florida is more likely to be affected. Updates will continue as the situation develops.

The odds of a tropical disturbance developing in the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southeastern Gulf of Mexico have increased, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
