Each month The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation hosts a Meet the Scientist Webinar featuring a researcher discussing the latest findings related to mental illness. In August, 2019, the Foundation featured Dr. Sarah H. Lisanby of the National Institute of Mental Health.

Description: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a safe, noninvasive type of brain stimulation, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of depression in 2008, and is now clinically available for the treatment of adults who have not been helped by antidepressant medications. Recently, FDA cleared TMS for use in patients with obsessivecompulsive disorder, if given immediately after cognitive behavioral therapy, a type of psychotherapy. This webinar will address the potential of combining psychotherapy with TMS for the treatment of depression, taking advantage of potential synergies between the two nonpharmacological approaches.
