About The Meeting:
"Can Magnetic Brain Stimulation Help Adults with ADD/ADHD?"
Bursts of magnetic energy can shift the workings of brain cells ... and brain circuits. In turn, TMS -- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, which is non-invasive -- can alter mood, anxiety level, pain perception, motor coordination, drive, or mental concentration.
TMS has been approved for use in treatment-resistant depression. Could it help, too, with ADD/ADHD? For more, hear psychiatrist Edward Fruitman, who uses TMS to treat both.
After The Meeting, a group of us go to the cafe Viand on 75th & Broadway for a snack.
