MRIs as treatment for bipolar disorder?

Posted by nicky847 on January 5, 2004, at 9:52:56

I read a fascinating article in the 1/2/04 edition of the Wall Street Journal regarding favorable results from tests done in using MRIs to treat bipolar disorder. In test subjects those that received MRIs reported improvement at a rate twice that of those that received placebo. The article said this could be a breakthrough and that in a few years doctors could be able to use this as a fast acting treatment for depression and bipolar disorder..the article even said that a machine could be developed that allows patients to perform the procedure in their home!
Did anyone else read this article? I find this very exciting!
