The research of Dr. Mandana Modirrousta, Director, Neuromodulation and Neuropsychiatry Unit, St. Boniface Hospital, and Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Manitoba was featured recently on CBC News. She is currently looking for 64 Manitobans with “treatment-resistant depression” to take part in a research study that may include access to a groundbreaking treatment for depression.
Dr. Modirrousta’s research focuses on improving and expanding the application of neuromodulation as an investigational as well as a treatment tool. Her research in the Neuromodulation and Neuropsychiatry Unit attempts to understand how to optimally use brain stimulation techniques to treat neuropsychiatric disorders.

Hello Dr.Modirrousta, Hoping you can direct me to clinics that provide rTMS and/or dTMS for treatment resistant depression. I live in BC.
Looking for clinics with strong credentials, medical oversight, and established rTMS programs. Also as this service is not covered by our provincial medical service plan, it is hard for a lay person to evaluate services provided and that too at such a high cost. Fertility treatments and gender reassignment surgeries are covered by MSP but unfortunately rTMS which is a last resort for treatment resistant depression is not covered which is very short sighted.
Thank you for your kind help
