To describe their method:
An insulated coil is placed near the scalp above the brain's prefrontal cortex, where an electrical current gives off about 3,000 pulses in a single sitting to target specific nerve cells.
The idea is depressed people display abnormally low activity in the prefrontal cortex.
I know that they used a high frequency.
It was at least 10 hz but may have been as high as 20 hz.
So, I guess that he tried to speed mine up and it led to speeding up negative thoughts.
As I mentioned, the cost was $500.00 per 40 minute session.
It could have easily gone to 20 sessions.
They initially billed me for 10 session to avoid sticker shock.
How does this compare to what you think?
Would this method have worsened depression?
