Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has a long history of use in psychiatry, while newer treatment such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and ketamine are becoming more widely recognized and used. This presentation will provide an overview of all three treatments, focusing on their administration and indications, as well as their effectiveness and side effects as supported by research and clinical experience. Dr. Pierson is a psychiatrist on faculty at the University of Utah and provides treatment with all three modalities in the Treatment-Resistant Mood Disorders clinic at the Huntsman Mental Health Institute. This presentation is intended for any practitioner interested in learning more about these treatments.

Upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

1) Identify individuals who may benefit from the adjunct therapies demonstrated; and,

2) Teach and apply the various adjunct therapies.
