Ep. 190/Todd/What is Treatment Resistant Depression?
When a person fails a third or fourth anti-depressant, the chances of success on another round of medication fall to 6.7 percent.

Todd's story of depression worsening to the point of suicidal thinking is an example of the trap these patients find themselves in. Fortunately for Todd, transcranial magnetic stimulation provided an effective alternative to medicine.
