Magnets: An FDA Approved Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression

Back in 2011, magnets made news when the FDA approved magnetic stimulation for treatment-resistant depression. Its approval as an effective therapy for mental illness helps further demonstrate the potential health benefits magnetic therapy has.

Since being approved, transcranial magnetic stimulation has been growing in popularity as an effective way to reduce the symptoms of major depression.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the therapy may help stimulate regions of the brain that are less active in people who have depression.
