Facebook Live: Brain Stimulation Therapies

In recognition of National Mental Health Awareness Month, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) hosted a Facebook Live event on brain stimulation therapies on May 1. The event featured NIMH expert Sarah H. Lisanby, M.D., Director of the Noninvasive Neuromodulation Unit in the Experimental Therapeutics and Pathophysiology Branch and Director of the NIMH Division of Translational Research. Brain stimulation therapies can help people with certain mental disorders who have not responded to other treatments. During the event, Dr. Lisanby describes common types of brain stimulation therapies and why they are used, dispels misconceptions, and highlights NIMH-supported research.v Facebook Live: Brain Stimulation Therapies https://www.nimh.nih.gov/news/media/2024/facebook-live-brain-stimulation-therapies?utm_campaign=MHM24&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govd
