The Black Dog Institute is an educational, research, clinical and community-oriented facility dedicated to improving the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of mood disorders.
The Black Dog Institute and the University of NSW is trialling an alternative treatment for depression – known as Mild Brain Stimulation (MBS) (also known as Direct Current Stimulation). The trial is particularly suitable to patients seeking an alternative to medication or who were unable to tolerate anti-depressant drugs or ECT. Participants will receive MBS for 20 minutes three times per week over about a month. Depressed patients aged 18 and over who want to take part in the trial should phone 02 9382 3720 or email tms@unsw.edu.au
