ABSTRACT
Abstract In the case of a 76 year old patient with moderate depression and anxiosomatic symptoms the treatment was initiated with TMS. After 30 sessions, anxiety improved in the subjective perception around 30% but not the depressive mood. By changing the method to TPS, after 3 sessions the mood improved significantly and after the 6th session we effectuated a nearly complete and lasting remission of depressive symptoms with additionally slightly improved anxiosomatic symtoms.This may be the first reference of potentially synergistic effects of TPS and TMS in depressed patients and also the first description of treating a non-demented depressed patient with tps.
