Early RA Work in Depression Trials1:35 – 2:42

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

1:35

So I kind of stumbled upon it.

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

1:36

So, um, in college I was doing more kind of traditional MDD-focused treatment, um, innovation research.

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

1:46

So I was a research assistant on, um, different types of, uh, trials that were looking at innovative ways to address MDD, so, like, new medication types, um, new, like, treatment modalities.

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

1:57

So, like, rTMS, like, o- one of the first trials that was going on, I was a research assistant, like, back in the day, totally dating myself here.

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

2:04

Uh, but that was, like, the focus.

D

2:05

Uh, let me just...

D

2:05

Sorry, just, just stop you just real fast.

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

2:09

most listeners will know major depressive disorder.

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

2:13

rTMS is repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

2:17

Um, so it's, it kinda looks like this flat thing that you put on your brain, and then it sends waves that supposedly stimulate the brain, um, and it's an alternative to medication for treatment for resistant depression.

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

2:31

Um, so the idea was, like, I wanna do, like, depression-focused research.

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest

2:36

Like, that was something that I was very interested in doing, like, research from the beginning.

S

Soo Jeong YounGuest
