I was just reading an article about TMS. The article, from Science Daily, might make for a good exercise in critical thinking. Most of the article describes how 3 people told an audience at Loyola University "how their lives have been transformed" by the therapy. Later we learn that, "...treatment reports from 41 TMS treatment centers show that about 33 percent of TMS patients who previously had been treatment-resistant reported their depression had significantly lessened or gone away completely". Doesn't sound like the most rigorous research. Oh yes, and if you're interested in more information, there's a number you can call. So is this a news article or an advertisement?
Here's the link to the article: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/10/121015182426.htm Any thoughts on the effectiveness of TMS? Michael Michael A.
