Brain MDBrain care is central to your success and well-being. Properly nourishing the brain can support your physical and functional health, as well as improve your mental outlook and clarity. |
“We must be learning if we are to feel fully alive, and when life, or love, becomes too predictable and it seems like there is little left to learn, we become restless - a protest, perhaps, of the plastic brain when it can no longer perform its essential task.” |
As new discoveries are made about the brain, scientists are finding that our minds are not hard-wired by age 18. This extraordinary film tells the amazing stories of men and women whose brains have changed and adapted over time. In some cases, the brain evolves to adapt to new environments or circumstances. In other cases, it's our way of overcoming physical and mental disabilities or injuries.

Dr. Rebecca Knapp, Psychiatrist for Achieve TMS East explains the success she has had treating her patients with TMS Therapy. These patients have suffered for years with depression and Dr. Knapp wasn't sure how she could help them. Then she was introduced to TMS Therapy. Now her patients that don't respond to antidepressants have hope. (Video is about 1 hour and 50 minutes). *some strong language
Depressed? Resistant to most treatments? Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, non-painful, outpatient treatment that uses magnetic pulses to therapeutically stimulate specific brain circuits. Results from recent studies indicate that TMS may arguably be the safest and most effective treatment for depression, even in highly treatment-resistant individuals. Join Stanford interventional psychiatrist and neuroscience expert Octavio Choi, MD, PhD, who will describe emerging treatments for mental illness. He’ll look at some of the structures in the brain associated with conditions such as depression and explain how new therapies such as TMS can be used to treat them effectively. |

Today, 3 doctors discuss treating their patients with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy, also known as TMS. Most people don't know this, but according to the Star*D Trial done in 2006, once someone has tried 3 or more antidepressant medications, the likelihood of remission is just 7%. For years doctors were trying to find a better solution and in the 1980's, something called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS was created. TMS for depression works extremely well, with a 70% effective rate and a 50% remission rate. TMS is the best solution for depression & OCD in the mental health field today. |

The limbic system is activated by healthy, life-sustaining activities such as eating and socializing—but it is also activated by drugs of abuse, which is why they can hijack this circuit and lead to a compulsive cycle of drug use and, in many cases, addiction. In addition, the limbic system is responsible for our perception of other emotions, both positive and negative, which explains the mood-altering properties of many drugs. |

It’s no secret that the teen brain is unique, and recent research from Daphna Shohamy, a neuroscientist, has confirmed striking differences in the brains of adolescents as compared to adults. These differences shed light on the biology behind their reward-seeking behavior, and reveal that it actually evolved to help teens navigate the world around them.
