(Contributed by the QEII Foundation) Two Nova Scotia hospitals will soon offer a new type of treatment for depression, PTSD and other mental health disorders. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, which involves sending short, magnetic pulses to the brain to stimulate nerve cells, will be offered at the Nova Scotia Hospital in Dartmouth and the Valley Regional Hospital in Kentville. "Anything that's going to impact positively is a huge benefit," said Dr. Michael Flynn, a psychiatrist at the Nova Scotia Hospital. "The key is it's now accessible. You can have the best treatment, but if you can't access it, it's not being optimized."
