Innovative Treatments in Mental Health: Dr. Manish Sheth on TMS and Genomics
We are not just treating depression, we are treating the whole person. We are treating their addiction, their anxiety, their panic disorders. We are not just looking at their depression as a single entity.
Imagine if you could treat depression with magnetic waves. Sounds futuristic, right? In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', Dr. Manish Sheth, a leading psychiatrist and TMS practice medical director, dives into the groundbreaking world of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and psychiatric genomics. Recorded at the Innovations in Recovery conference in San Diego, Dr. Sheth shares how Achieve TMS uses these emerging technologies to offer hope where traditional treatments have failed.
TMS, a non-invasive procedure that targets specific brain regions with magnetic pulses, has shown remarkable promise in treating depression, the world's leading cause of disability. Dr. Sheth explains how these electrical pulses, when tuned to precise frequencies and patterns, can make a significant impact on mental health and substance use disorders. He also delves into the role of genomics in creating personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's unique genetic makeup.
This episode is packed with valuable insights on the future of mental health care, including practical advice on workplace accommodations for those with mental health conditions. Whether you're struggling with mental health issues or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers a glimpse into innovative treatments that could change lives.
