I'm working on finding them- there aren't too many (yet), but there are some, despite the big disagreements mentioned in the NY Times. They involve SPECT scans and functional MRI imaging, which are not used routinely .
TMS stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation- it's kind of a new version of ECT, without the dangers of anesthesia and memory loss. It's not FDA-approved in the US yet, although it is approved in Canada and Europe, and I think, Australia. I found it to be really safe and very effective- not permanently, but for several months at a time.
