In this educational presentation, Dr. Cady completely explains the
process of "TMS", or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. TMS is a state
of the art, FDA approved treatment for depression, which treats this
condition by shooting pulses of magnetic waves into a certain section of
the brain - the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Unlike the "shock
treatments" made infamous in such movies as "One Flew Over the Cookoo's
Nest," TMS is a remarkably well tolerated treatment, which involves NO
anesthesia, NO seizure, NO loss of consciousness, and NO medications.
Patients are completely awake throughout the procedure, and actual
psychotherapy (or "talk therapy") can be accomplished right during the
appointment.
In this very complete presentation, Dr. Cady
demonstrates the operation of the equipment, the positioning of the
patient, how effective TMS is, the way it works, and its excellent
tolerability. He also reviews the process at CWI of "hot-rodding" our
TMS machine in creative ways to get maximum amounts of improvement in
minimum time (which translates into minimizing the patient's total out
of pocket cost).

Sexy doesn’t impress me. Smart impresses me, strength of character impresses me. But most of all, I am impressed by kindness. Kindness, I think, comes from learning hard lessons well, from falling and picking yourself up. It comes from surviving failure and loss. It implies an understanding of the human condition, forgives its many flaws and quirks. When I see that in someone, it fills me with admiration. ~L.U.
