is pioneering a groundbreaking approach to treating
depression and anxiety, aiming to help patients
recover faster. McLean Hospital in Belmont is
reducing what typically takes over eight weeks
to about five days using transcranial magnetic
stimulation, or TMS. This non -invasive therapy
offers tailored treatments by applying magnetic
impulses through the scalp to stimulate the brain.
Patients undergo 10 sessions, lasting about 20
minutes each, over five days. Dr. Joshua Brown,
the medical director of TMS, states that about
50 % to 60 % of patients see a significant response,
with many achieving full remission. Now on to
sports. In a significant blow for the Atlanta
Braves, outfielder Jurickson Profar has received
an 80 -game suspension from Major League Baseball
after testing positive for a performance -enhancing
drug. The 32 -year -old left fielder had only
played four games this season before the announcement.
Profar's suspension comes after an impressive
2024 season where he hit 24 home runs and earned
a silver slugger award. The Braves, already struggling
without their star player Ronald Acuna Jr., will
likely turn to Alex Verdugo to fill the gap in
left field as they face a tough start to the
season. In local sports. Yesterday afternoon
