Epilepsy Alliance Ohio Seminar Series - “Addicted to Numbing Mental Illness: The Rise of Addiction in Boomers and Zoomers"

Speaker: Chris Tuell, Ed.D., LPCC-S, LICDS-CS

About the Seminar: This seminar will examine the growing trend of addictive behaviors among two generations: Baby Boomers (1946-1964) and Generation Z or Zoomers (1997-2012). Dr. Tuell will focus on the impact of mental health concerns, and how this has led to an increase in substance use behaviors among Boomers, and problematic Internet use among Generation Z. With both generations facing the uncertainties of the future, addictive behaviors become an unhealthy way to manage, cope and numb issues of mental illness. Dr. Tuell will discuss the warning signs of these behaviors, as well as the healthy steps we can take to maintain mental wellness.

Epilepsy Alliance Ohio Seminar Series - "Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) For Treatment Resistant Depression, Anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder"

Speaker: Dr. Nelson F. Rodriguez, MD, DABPD, FAPA

About the Seminar: Major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder like obsessive-compulsive disorder, continue to affect significant number of adults and even adolescents. Despite the availability of treatments such as counseling and medications, about 20 percent continue to be poorly responsive to treatments. Poor treatment outcomes may lead to prolonged suffering and disruption in daily activities, and at worst some attempt or commit suicide.
Neuromodulation therapy or interventional therapy continues to elicit hope and excitement in psychiatric practice. Among the modalities such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), or Deep brain stimulation (DBS), repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) appears to be more appealing to patients and families.
This lecture will attempt to provide the basic, scientific and clinical understanding why TMS is the more appealing and more promising treatment option.
