A team of psychiatric and neurologic researchers at the Emory University School of Medicine currently are recruiting patients for studies evaluating an investigational technique employing electromagnetic therapy to treat depression.

Volunteers should be over 18 years of age and should have depression that is unresponsive to antidepressants.

Participation will involve about 10 visits over a two-week period to the Mood Disorders Center located at Wesley Woods Geriatric Hospital, 1817 Clifton Rd., N.E., Atlanta. All testing, examinations and treatment associated with the study will be provided at no charge.

Call 404/ 728-4558 for information.
