Episode notes

In part two of our conversation on the treatment of depression, Dr. Andrew and Dr. Dave welcome psychiatrist Dr. Michael Martyna back to the Taking Good Care podcast. Responding to listener requests, Dr. Martyna joins the discussion to explore novel and innovative approaches to treatment-resistant depression. Recent advances in science and technology have expanded the options available to clinicians, including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and other emerging therapies. If you’re interested in cutting-edge medical science or if you or someone you know is living with treatment-resistant depression, this episode is a must-listen.
