Thanks for sharing this information. I have been following with interest the development of non-invasive neurological stimulation for severe depression, PTSD, and ADHD. I’m also curious whether it may be of value with adults struggling with persistent anxiety related to childhood trauma.
I'm very excited to be prescribing the Monarch device and was compelled to do so by you. So, thank you. Also, the ones I have prescribed are on back order for over one month. Not exactly a solution to the stimulant shortage.
I'm concerned about the way that psychiatric is again being stigmatized and our patients are being treated like they don't have real issues. It is a real issue that kids who have difficulty effectively socializing with peers without treatment are going back to school without meds and maybe setting themselves up for a year of low self-esteem. Traffic accidents are real issues.
Stimulants are the safest and most effective medications we have in psychiatry. It feels a little gross to use this opportunity as a way to hype a product (that I can't actually get for my patients right now).
I was using this technology in 1985 for treating head injuries and chronic pain. I was using play therapy to treat kids. As it happend, in 1995 I moved offices and I no longer had a playroom. I had a little boy that still needed treatment. I asked his father if I could use BMST for treatment. He agreed. This little boy went thru the same stages at same point in play therapy stages. I was truely amazed.

That is true.
Having said that, without different life skills, the same choices and emotions will continue to be the results.
