been fda approved since 2008 is transcranial magnetic system lace. this is a non-invasive procedure getting an electromagnetic current delivered to the front part of the left sides of your fraerd forehead stimulating the front part of your brain called the frontal lobe. that contend up having an anti-depressant effect for people who have not responded to medications. >> how effective has it turned out to be? >> not a slam dunk. i don't want people to think this is a cure-all but we have found in studies that about 20% to 50% of people will notice a moderate to significant improvement in their depression. >> how does it compare an effectiveness to medication? >> antidepressant medication is still considered the first line treatment for somebody with depression. if you're going to go that route. therapy is also an option for people. bupt the sprob, there's this subset of people not responding to the medications, and for smoob hasn't responded to a first antidepressant medication they're likelihood of success

with each successive antidepressant medication goes down. as opposed to with this, where actually if were you to compare it, people would be more likely to ben fritefit from tms than an antidepressant trial. >> sounds scary. putting an electrode on your head and stimulating it. what does it look like. >> sit in what looks like a dental chair. a probe applied right here and getting this little woodpecker like tapping on your scalp and it occurs about four seconds, then a break of 26 seconds and the whole procedure lasts about 35 to 40 minutes. the thing is you have to go every day monday through friday for about six weeks. so this is not something that works right away. it takes a little bit of time before people will respond. >> and is there a time after that six-week period still waiting to see if it works? >> in case people start to

respond towards the tail end and the treatment needs extended. for some he respond, some go back for booster sessions. >> is it ---does it have side effects? >> the most common is headache or scalp tender flz. in general, mild and relatively easy to treat. >> and tell me how expensive is it jand will insurance pay for it. >>? this is one of the problem oos see when trying to get this spore some of my patients in my practice. a lot of insurance doss not cover this. you have to really fight to get it in some cases. and if you're paying out of pocket for this it's roughly $12,000. for the treatment. so this is not an option for a lot of people if they're insurance isn't covering it. >> but it is approved by a federal -- >> by the fda. it's fda approved just because it's approved doesn't mean the insurance company wants you to go in that trekz, arguing you he's in to try more medications. if you fail numerous trials maybe then consider it. >> do you have patients thanking you for sending them in that

direction? >> only three patients go that direction, and so far i haven't been blown away by the results, but i want people to know the study show it's something to look into and because it hasn't work ford my three patients doesn't mean it won't work for them t. dr. weiner thank you so much. always glad to see you. see you next week. >> thanks. you got it. for more information on the treatment of depression in the changing mind section of nbcwashington.com app you know that is something we are very interested in continuing to follow. changing minds. we call it. jimmy fallon's new flavor of ice cream, you want to hear this if you weren't up last night and saw it on tv. the extreme cold headed in our direction. we'll talk about that, too, if you need to be outside. this may be the time to go right now. it's sunny and the temperatures are near about 30 degrees out
