Despite a lot of scientific as well as clinical progress,
there is a tremendous need for novel, effective
therapeutic interventions to improve symptoms and
quality of life in neuropsychiatric conditions. Over the
last 37 years, Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
has received increasing attention as it has shown a
strong therapeutic potential in many diseases, ranging
from dementia to depression and addictions. The main
goal of this presentation is to highlight the history, the
mechanisms of action, as well as latest findings on
how TMS protocols can significantly impact quality
of life, as well as improve behavioral response as
well as cognitive abilities in individuals with anxiety,
depression, addictions, and cognitive deficits,
including Neuro-Covid-19.
