While there may not be any concrete treatments for blocking suicidal thoughts, there may be hope on the horizon for a new non-invasive treatment that can erase the impulses altogether.
A specific kind of magnetic brain stimulation has been found effective in reducing suicidal thinking in a significant portion of people with hard-to-treat depression, according to this new study.
The research, which was conducted by the Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), found that 40% of people in the study no longer experienced suicidal thoughts after receiving bilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).

“This is one of the first large studies showing rTMS is effective in treating suicidal ideation,” says Dr. Jeff Daskalakis, senior author of the study. “The effects on suicidal ideation were independent of effects on depressive symptoms.

Interesting read.It is true that our brain is still unexplored area.Fore example,dreaming and lucid dreaming and other similar things...I watched the movie "Inception" recently and was inspired to read further about dreaming

That is amazing! We truly are in the future man... they are doing face transplants and China even wants to do a full head transplant!

Yes, I heard that news too and it is incredible the advancements that are being made in science and the best part is how it will benefit those suffering so significantly.

so much informative article dear...
