Hi @oceangirl - TMS is being done as an inpatient treatment in Melbourne at one private hospital that I know of, possible others are offering it. Public hospitals I'm not sure of - Alfred and Monash possibly? I spoke to the Professor who has done a lot of the research after my doctor gave me his details ... happy that he at least took time to speak to me. I believe that even in the public system there is still cost involved unless you have private insurance around the $9000 mark (don't quote me on that).

Hi @Former-Member Do you know which clinic is best in Melbourne to have the treatment?
Who actually gives the treatment nurse or Doctor?
I do know of public hospital offering the treatment for free.
What did the professor say about the effectiveness of the treatment?

Beautiful person - just allow the anger it is simply another emotion.
And a major warning - ECT is horribly ineffective - you will be fortunate to get 3 months relief, and it will cause brain damage - unfortunately the cells (fronto-temporal lobes) will not be renewable as a reault.
Please be kind to you
