Transcranial magnetic stimulation in psychiatry: Clinical implications

This webinar has ended. You can watch the recorded session here. 

Welcome to ANT Neuro Educational Webinar Series! 

This webinar will focus on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and its use in treating mental health conditions, the history of TMS, and current clinical practices. TMS involves the induction of an electric current via a magnetic coil to inhibit or stimulate neuron circuits in the brain. While primarily used in treating psychiatric disorders, TMS can also be used to treat neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and tinnitus. This presentation will include case studies on the clinical use of TMS and neuronavigation in treating depression and anxiety.

The scientific presentation will be followed by a virtual product demonstration and a Q&A session.

Dr. Karthikeyan Ganapathy is currently working as a consultant psychiatrist at Alberta Hospital Edmonton and as an outpatient psychiatrist in a private TMS clinic. He is the medical director of the Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program and TMS Clinic at Envision Mind Care. His special interests are in adult ADHD and TMS. He is working on conducting a clinical trial and has now applied for ethics approval to the University of Alberta for research combining TMS and psychotherapy for OCD.

Pavithra Rajendran is a TMS therapist and research coordinator at Envision Mind Care. She has experience working with various TMS machines used for treatment of multiple mental health conditions. She is working on obtaining the ethics approval for an OCD clinical trial conducted by Envision Mind Care and intends to pursue a Master’s degree in Clinical Counselling Psychology.

We look forward to welcoming you to this webinar!
