> I had rTMS (20 treatments-twice a day for two weeks) at the Mindcare Centre in Vancouver last year. (They now have a clinic in Toronto as well). It is still experimental in the U.S. but approved in Canada, and I think several babblers have described their treatment there. It is expensive (US $200 per treatment, so about $5000 when you add the cost of a hotel for 2 weeks.) And for me it was EXTREMELY painful, though supposedly for most people it is not. It did nothing for my depression, but apparently it does help a lot of people, so it`s worth trying if you can afford it. Cecilia
Thanks for your response. I'm sorry it didn't work for you, especially with that kind of expense. I don't have that kind of money now. Also, I'm left-handed so I think this is a treatment that will have to wait in my case.K
