I have seen it work wonders on patients with 'treatment resisant" depression and I have seen it do nothing--I think you can be reasonable reassured that it willnoy have any long term negative impact. Have you discussed transranial magnetic stimulation or vagal nerve stimulation with your psychiatrist--both are new technologies and reports have been generally psitive--TMS is completely non invasive--usually only available at research centers in the US, but I may be wrong--VNS is generally available My Best wishes fca
