OverviewThis book describes a new technology that allows physicians to focally stimulate the brain in awake adults through a non-invasive procedure. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Clinical Psychiatry is an accessible and authoritative review of TMS, explaining how the procedure works and then outlining its use in a wide range of situations-notably in depression, but also in other conditions ranging from migraine to stroke recovery.This concise overview offers practical guidance for psychiatrists and other clinicians using TMS as a therapy. It begins with background on the physics and safety of TMS, a guide for administering the procedure, and a review of basic neurophysiological studies with TMS, showing how it can be used to measure connectivity and excitability of the cerebral cortex. The heart of the book is devoted to clinical applications of TMS to epilepsy, movement disorders, and pain; major depression; mania; anxiety disorders, notably obsessive-compulsive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder; and schizophrenia. With additional chapters on TMS in brain imaging and prospects for the future of repetitive TMS, this volume offers a definitive look at this cutting-edge research and provides critical guidance on how and when clinicians should use TMS in their practice.
