I was wondering about this. I might enroll in a rTMS clinical trial at NIMH. My pdoc really perked up when I suggested it, probably because she wants a psychiatric guinea pig, but also because she wants me to be evaluated by someone else. Her particular "someone else" charges $650 for an evaluation. NIMH would be free. I'm okay with it unless they want to draw blood.
