Topic: convulsive therapy

Evolution of convulsive therapy from electroconvulsive therapy to Magnetic Seizure Therapy; Interventional Neuropsychiatry

In April, we will host Nolan Williams and Mustafa Husain. Be prepared to embark on a journey from early brain stimulation with ECT to state-of-the art TMS protocols and magnetic seizure therapy! The talks will be held on Thursday, April 25th at noon ET / 6PM CET. Nolan Williams, MD, is an associate professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stanford University. He developed the SAINT protocol, which is the first FDA-cleared non-invasive, rapid-acting neuromodulation treatment for treatment-resistant depression. Mustafa Husain, MD, is an adjunct professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University and a professor of Psychiatry and Neurology at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas. He will tell us about “Evolution of convulsive therapy from electroconvulsive therapy to Magnetic Seizure Therapy”. As always, we will also get a glimpse at the “Person behind the science”.
