Featured Speaker: Dr. Drew Digney

Topic: Could Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offer a new option for people struggling with depression, anxiety or PTSD?

We’re pleased to welcome Dr. Drew Digney, Medical Director of Optimind TMS Treatment Centres, to our upcoming Respect Forum.

Dr. Digney will introduce us to Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS/TMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted areas of the brain. TMS is included in his scope of practice with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC. He has served as Medical Director of Optimind since its founding in 2019.

Often described as an under-recognized treatment option, TMS may be particularly valuable for individuals who have not found the results they hoped for from other treatments. Dr. Digney will explain how TMS works, who may benefit, and what patients can expect from the treatment.

With specialized TMS training and certification through the Clinical TMS Society and years of clinical experience, Dr. Digney brings both medical expertise and practical insight to this important conversation.

Join us and learn about an emerging treatment option that could provide new hope for those living with PTSD, anxiety and depression.
