Though the stigma around mental illnesses has lessened, there is an ongoing mental health crisis affecting the country—and the rest of the world. In this episode of Medtech Talk, host Geoff Pardo speaks with Nolan Williams, M.D. Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, about how electrical signaling abnormalities in the brain could be behind mental illnesses and the different options used to treat these ailments. Dr. Williams also delves into how his background in psychology and neurology helped him better understand patients in crisis, how Magnus Medical’s methods differ from traditional transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy, and the difficult circumstance of the current state of hospitals and inpatient units.
