Healing with Magnets for Depression

The front cover of New Scientist in August 1995 declared that "Happiness is a magnet!" It explains that Mark George and co-researchers at Washington's Nationl Institute of Health had found that applying very stron pulsating magnetic fields to the left pre-frontal cortex for 20 minutes every other day relieved depressive illness in a 40-year-old woman who had attempted suicide, had been admitted to the hospital five times, and had a long list of failed medication. The pre-frontal cortex is an area of the brain often found to be underactive in depressed patients.
The technique they used, called transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS), was pioneered in London's Institute of Neurology by Pat Merton and John Rothwell in the 1990s. It was first used to diagnose strokes, tumors, and other brain impairments, and then found applications in Parkinson's disease. The magnetic activity revives neural activity in a part of the brain often numbed in people with chronic depression, but the technique is still in an experimental stage.
