My wife is going through a terrible depression episode right now and has been diagnosed with "baby" bipolar, at least that is how the Dr described it. She can't take some SSRI's or NSRI's. The Dr wants to try rTMS. Any experience with this?

Neurotransmitters are not proteins (as stated), but small molecules like epinephrine, etc. Receptors often involve proteins in the membranes of the cells, but they are not the neurotransmitters.

Good information on an important topic. I am a family nurse practitioner with a holistic practice in Oregon who treats mood imbalances by checking neurotransmitter levels and prescribing appropriate supplements and activities to balance mood. Getting to the root of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms, also called functional medicine.
