This doesn't make any sense.
I note this from another article:
"Clinical trials led by Williams demonstrated that patients with treatment‑resistant depression experienced a significant reduction in symptoms after just a single session of targeted stimulation."
And Ibogaine works wonders too. He said. With huge percentages of remission. He said.
This doesn't make sense.
Physician, heal thyself eh?
Most shrinks (and the shrink-adjacent) are nuts who go into the field(s) to figure out why they are nuts.
Brain stimulation (e.g., electroshock therapy) has long been shown to help with treatment resistant depression. However, the side effects are not good.
Any time i hear Suicide attached to anyone working on a Solution to a Problem that makes Big Pharma Big Money, I get Really skeptical. Was he home alone? How did he die? Nowhere Near enough actual information here,just someone's declaration.
If you came here looking for empathy you’re in the wrong place.
After reading that book, "The Instability of Truth" and the discussion of what really happened in "The Terminal Man," well, no thank you.
