Funded Activity Summary

Depression is a substantial clinical problem for which ECT is the most efficacious treatment. However, ECT has cognitive side-effects which limit its applicability and acceptance by patients. The development of a new treatment with similar efficacy but which minimizes these side effects would have great clinical value. One promising possibility is magnetic seizure therapy (MST). This project will investigate the neurological outcomes of MST in depression, focusing on the cognitive outcomes.
