Important Breakthrough Alert!

That up there is the newly-FDA approved NeuroStar TMS system for treating depression. It works by sending electromagnetic waves to the prefrontal cortex to stimulate dopamine release, and has been shown to be as effective as antidepressant medication in clinical trials. Best of all, it only requires daily 40 minute treatments for a month, for the low price of $6,000. That's great! I just wish that somebody would come up with some other way to treat depression that would require even fewer sessions and less money, but would still be about as effective as antidepressant medication. Cough, cough.
