Treatment for Suicide Risk in Schizophrenia

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) - this therapy involves targeted stimulation of specific brain regions that may be related to psychosis. Results from small studies of the effect on auditory hallucinations are variable, however, the APA notes that the potential therapeutic benefits are worthy of future research.

"I found the Guidebook very comprehensive and written in a professional and clear style. I would recommend your books to anyone who has a problem and needs to go to a doctor. Trusting your health issues in the hands of a doctor who may or may not be good or professional is no longer acceptable. I found that my father-in-law's doctor does not actually know about many of the studies described in the book even though he is considered to be one of the "specialists" in this domain."
