Emerging Hope in Dementia Care 🧠

Recent research highlights the growing role of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in understanding and treating dementia. TMS is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that allows clinicians to assess brain function—specifically neural connectivity, plasticity, and excitability—offering valuable insight into how dementia progresses.
Beyond diagnosis, TMS shows promise as a therapeutic tool. Repetitive TMS (rTMS), particularly when combined with cognitive training, may help improve memory, language, and overall cognitive function—especially in the early stages of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
While more research is needed, these advances point toward a future of more personalized, targeted interventions for patients with cognitive decline.

Treatment-resistant depression doesn’t mean hopelessness. Options include medication adjustments, evidence-based therapy, and brain-targeted treatments like TMS. Research shows combining approaches often improves outcomes. Working closely with a mental health professional is key to finding what works best for you. 💛

Not all depression responds to standard treatment. About 1 in 3 people with depression don’t get enough relief from antidepressants. This is known as Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) — and there are evidence-based treatments that can help. 💛🧠

Still not ready to talk about this….or write about it or even say it out loud….still can’t believe you’re gone. But i know you loved this picture so I’m starting there. I miss you everyday. I promise to write about you—our friendship. Our sisterhood. I know it will help me but I just can’t yet but I promise I will bc you always wanted me to write, you were always my biggest fan….even at the things I suck at, like listening to my VM or chronically missing flights. Remember when you made a fake boarding pass, 1 hr ahead and sent it to me to make sure I’d make the flight? And it worked. You knew me without me having say anything about myself. After 33 yrs of Arleen Candari + Torie….somehow I can’t yet be grateful for all that we shared, all that you gave me as the sister I never had but G’d blessed me with. All I can think about is how you’re not there to talk to, text with, laugh with, to do nothing with, to go on our annual trip to MX with…..That’s the funny thing about grief…it’s not mourning of the past but for what will never be.
