Reviews

This is a comprehensive, informative, concise overview of TMS. It meets the objective of providing clinicians insights into how TMS works, its benefits and few risks, who it works for, what a course of treatment consists of, and what to expect if your patients are undergoing a course of TMS. Hopefully, it will result in clinicians becoming more aware of patients in their practice who could benefit from this treatment or interested in providing this treatment themselves.
