I love these “I asked all specialties” videos! Seeing a single question and how it spreads across the world of medicine gives such a wide-ranging picture of what’s going on. Stuff like this is something the average person would never have been able to get decades ago. Understand and trust the field even more.
Same i love it too
@@HyperLuigi37 yeah, although at least 2 of those featured are rather questionable individuals.
@@TobyLegionwait, who? I genuinely don't know.
Wait so Mike's NOT a specialist? I don't understand how that works? Or is he like a gp that is primary care and knows a little bit about everything? I thought he can and has worked in hospital?
@@icantthinkofaname9935 As far as I know, Family Medicine is its own speciality. It’s not specialized in any one field, but is specialized in long-term patient connections and being the first point of contact for many patents’ various non-emergency needs. You could call it a Jack-of-all-trades speciality. Emergency Medicine is probably similar.
That said, this is basically just what I get from watching a lot of Medical RUclips, including Glaucomflecken and his various speciality videos
Honored to be featured in this video, Dr. Mike. And I hope I was able to educate people on TMS, because it is really saving lives in the mental health field. Thank you for all you do.
Today is my last day of TMS :) I’m noticing a difference and agree it needs more care and coverage!!
Could it help people with Tourette’s syndrome, especially tics caused by social anxiety?
I'm really excited for this one. Since it's not invasive, there should also be lesser side effects. Also, it is not scary like ECT.
I had TMS 6 months ago because of severe depression and I haven‘t felt so good in years. And my mental health increased even after the treatment ended.
I'm glad this is developing. I don't know if I am a candidate yet but I have treatment resistant depression. I'm doing what I can with meds and therapy but I just want to feel normal again. I can hang on sometimes with the thought that maybe I will.
I was able to have TMS therapy 2-3 years ago through the hospital I work at. My depression was managed decently with meds, but if I crashed, I crashed hard. My mood and self worth would nosedive sharply. After therapy, I can’t say I’m cured, but I can say that it took that sharpness away. I’m grateful for what it was able to do for me.
I had Trans-Cranial Electro stimulation Therapy (not ECT) in Research. It was awesome. I know there is a slightly higher risk in using electric mini shocks, than magnets, but it’s the same set up and was amazing
I’m so glad this was helpful for you. I’m curious, did you use the figure 8 coil or the deep TMS helmet?
I just started my TMS treatments and am hopeful
Every little bit helps! I wonder if they're doing deliberately and safely what ECT did accidentally and dangerously? Either way, it's a better solution than drugs with dubious outcomes.
I’m curious about this. I’ve been dealing with MDD since I was a teen. I’ve been on pretty much every medication there is with no positive results. I’ve also had many rounds of ECT over several years with no easing of symptoms. For people like me who’ve had multiple rounds of ECT and are dealing with treatment resistant MDD, how effective is this? Are the results long-lasting? What are the outcomes of pocket costs? These are just a few questions I have.
Last week I had a patient tell me about TMS for longstanding depression, and she was RAVING about how effective it was. Not my field, I’m a cardiologist, but definitely got my attention.
I’m glad it works for people. It did not work for me. 😢
There’s evidence that TMS in conjunction with Spravato (nasal spray) present the best results for treatment resistant depression. I know a few clinics that offer this treatment but I’m unsure of how popular it is. Not a lot of people know about it.
My partner did 2 rounds did nothing but make her very sick and in so much pain I was scared and begged her to stop. Be careful
I can’t wait to not be able to afford any of these exciting medical breakthroughs.
Too bad you didn't choose to be born rich, because only rich folks should get good care!
@@russellregister8553 Something is wrong with You. Lil fund baby
Gotta call Luigi
@@russellregister8553is dis a joke?
@@Ash_quacksI know sarcasm is sometimes not easily transported via text, but that was pretty transparent.
I got diagnosed with MDD at 15. I did TMS after getting diagnosed with PPD from having my daughter about a year and a half ago. TMS is absolute magic and has changed my life.
I agree. I also had tms treatment for my ptsd and my life has done a 180 in the past 2 years!
@CierraAdamo it's so funny after getting the TMS and the depression was gone. We were able to finally tell i had all the ADHD 🤣🤣
I have MS, and am now excited for the future with CAR-T cells. Fingers crossed. 🤞
Same here 🤞🤞🤞
Same here!🤞
same my mom has it

Hey, I checked out your channel and figured out what that song was you were trying to figure out. Commented there.
Here's hoping there are new treatments on the horizon, medical advances are one of the places where I'm still hopeful and I hope MS is on its way out
I can't wait for insurance companies to deny these treatments to the great majority of people.
Exactly. Only the 1% will likely be able to afford it.
That’s why I want to be excited, but can’t-I am afraid I may not have insurance- which I have been in that place before and I feel like that in part led to some conditions I have now. I have been so thankful that I have had to have the opportunity to have affordable insurance that covers things fairly well- but there are things they should cover, but they don’t.
They will blame it on AI
@@marysparks3769 i was uninsured for the last 3 years by choice. You would be surprised at how much some tests and medications actually are when you pay out of pocket.
fortunately it will most likely be available everywhere else that is not the US for reasonable prices.
I had TMS done a couple years ago and am so happy that I had it done it helped by itself so much, but also it helped me be receptive to antidepressants way better than before I had it done!
I'd like to get it to treat my depression on the NHS
@85crazychick bro, is thus a Dr Mike impersonator
What@@Masa_Moth
I had TMS back in 2021, and my advice to anyone undergoing it is to have access to a reliable psychiatrist so you can be monitored during and after treatment. I have BP2, and while it did work, it sent me into a hypomania, and my psych kept cancelling my appointments. Ultimately, I had to stop the treatments out of fear of the side effects, and we waisted thousands of dollars.
Thank you for sharing. This is exactly the first thing that came to my mind when I heard about it.
2:10 I had TMS over the summer after so many medication treatments didn’t work for me and it actually made me feel like my depression went back in time to a stage that wasn’t as severe, unlike medication which just makes it feel like its barely holding it back from getting worse though it still does just much slower. Unfortunately, TMS only worked for me temporarily (started really having a problem again with it roughly 4 months later). However, there’s a second version now that’s called “TMS Maintenance Therapy” which is the same thing but instead you receive follow up treatments after instead of just being sent on your merry way to make sure treatment stays in check and I really think that was the missing piece for me! I’m really hoping to try that this summer if my insurance covers it
I had it too, it’s somewhat effective
I am a TMS technician and I have found the people who get the best results are those who think about positivity and gratitude during the treatment and then go home and work on healthy habits and positive life style after. Therapy alongside treatment can also be extremely helpful. The type of TMS treatment I administer is a 36 day program where we teach those neurons what to think about. I hope this helps in the future!
@@liahill oh yes I actually knew about this before going into it. While I’ve had a great relationship with my therapist of 5+ years now who’s helped me tremendously with my habits and coping skills, I don’t have a lot of control over my living situation right now. This has always played an unfortunate role in my depression symptoms and was something I had tried to get out of before starting tms for that very reason. This ended up not working out because tms was not accessible for me in my new location and so I had to wait until I was back in my original environment again in order to do it. Thankfully, I was able to leave shortly after finishing back to where I was much more comfortable and confident, and at one point even thought about asking my psychiatrist if I could go off my depression medication thinking I might not need it anymore, but after a couple months it started getting increasingly worse again no matter what I did. This is why I’m looking into the maintenance therapy version of it because I really think that follow up treatments are something I need personally
@@liahill Is it true that a lot of TMS's outcome relies substantially on the technician administering it? I'd hate to go through it, only to find out it went south - bc the helmet was like, .000005 inches out of alignment.
Getting the gold standard brain shocks soon, I'll need maintenance doses as well. I really hope the tms maintenance works for you
As someone who’s type one diabetic, I’m glad you included the endocrinologist in this! It’s always seemed like an underrepresented specialty, and finding a good one can be a challenge for a patient! The technology surrounding diabetes care has improved so much even in the 16 years since I was diagnosed. I personally don’t have or want a pump, but my CGM is just about my favorite piece of technology that exists. It’s really life changing, and even life saving, for people with T1D.
The amount of tech progress (but also cure progress with stem cells and stuff) that has been done in last 10-15 years is INSANE in the best possible way I am so excited to see where it all goes, 15 year old me (I'm in my mid 30s now, been t1 since I was 1y/o) could have never imagined this world! I am so upset however how bad access to care is. There is financial issue in USA, but even finances aside, in lot of countries access is just impossible. In lot NPH and R are still used as main treatment. It shouldn't be like this. I live in S.Korea, and even here cgms have only been covered by insurance from 2021 properly (from 2019 there was some coverage but they were too expensive for most people). Most endocrinologists here still have no clue about pumps, and pumps are expensive and hard to get. Not to mention how bad it is in nations that are less developed. I really hope that with progress in tech, we also get progress in accessibility to follow it in the next 10+ years!
I had TMS treatment last year and it was the best thing that ever happened to me! I can’t recommend it enough, I hope more people become aware of it.
That is such a breakthrough. Happy for you. Were the effects long lasting or permanent for you so far?
@theRealSara...how often did you have to go for treatment? The only place in my area was everyday for an hour a day and was an hour away couldn't do and work? Curious if there are any options more convenient?
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes baire_tyler1, I have a similar experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction, and mushrooms have significantly contributed to my recovery and being clean today.
Is he on instagram ?
baire_tyler1 is the man
On Instagram?
We need more from these videos! As a Biomedical Engineering student, such videos really help me focus my research on fields that are actually needed! Thank you Dr. Mike❤
@TeIe-qram-OfficialDoctorMike1 Is this real?
Americans have to have a colonscopy after age 45 to check for cancer? Here in Australia, once you turn 50, the government sends you a kit and you return it with a small sample of feces through the mail. Much less intrusive. They send it to everyone over 50, every 2 years.
I can’t wait for my TMS!! Just waiting for insurance to reply back. It’s a safer alternative to ECT, it’s relatively new (about 15 years old), but more and more people have been approved for it to essentially help replace drug medications (though therapy is still encouraged during and after treatment). Though no long-term effects have been studied yet (obviously), and you need to follow an intense treatment schedule (5 sessions per week for about 2 months straight, but you’re still able to work), I was jazzed about it when I saw the actress from Sound of Music undergoing it and seeing improvement years ago.
I did TMS and it really helped me. The treatment being five days a week for a few months was tedious especially in the beginning. I feel confident that it was worth it though. I hope your insurance company will cover it for you!!
i did TMS in 2023! it improved my life SOO substantially. good luck on your journey ❤
I’ve had both treatments. It worked somewhat for me for a period of time. But I hope it goes well for you!
Dr Glauconmlecken, I verify insurance for an ophthalmologist and have to quote patients for their surgeries. That lens seems so cool but DARN, it’s the most expensive upgrade we do. But it seems like the patients love it.
My partner who is a veteran had TMS to help with his ptsd and depression. It’s helped him to be able to control himself a lot better. He still has triggers with outburst , but they are no where near as bad as they use to be. They also use to last for days , now if he does get triggered it only last for 20-60 min , It’s amazing to see such technology can make a difference to someone life. He may need to go back for more rounds in future, right now his doing amazing.
Im currently going through TMS therapy and it has been absolutely life changing! I am so glad I took the step and started TMS treatment.
0:34 the medical field is one of the only areas in which i am fine with ai
2:13 I am a TMS technician and I am so happy this is being talked about more. I have seen first hand how this treatment changes lives for the better. It has extremely minimal side effects and it can be a fun and rewarding experience along the way. Thanks for talking about this!!
As a psych patient, TMS (magnets) was just ok. Ketamine therapy is what saved my life and has kept me stable so far for 3 years, just on that one treatment alone. I’m more excited about K-treatment outcomes than magnets. Asking experts is great, asking patients about their positive outcomes is also great.
Thanks to TMS I was able to leave over 8 years of depressions behind me - the treatment was seven years ago and I never had issues again. This saved my life.
AI in stuff like MRIs was super exciting to me, too, when it got really good. I'm a mathematician and I go to a lot of math seminars, and right before AI got really good, everyone was doing seminars about AI for medicine. I really enjoyed those seminars

you can use LUCAS (the auto-compressor) for that! 😂
@ Get out bot.
TMS is cracked. But i would suggest that it is only a catalyst for one's improvement. It enhances the work you put into the treatment. So work hard, go to your appointments, and be prepared for a positive change!
A multifaceted treatment does work the best when treating depression.
I lost my mom to colon cancer in 2015. She was only 54. I’m 40 and have had 2 colonoscopies already. Seeing her fight the disease made me so scared! I still am as so many cancers are on both sides of the family. I watch my food, get routine bloodwork and everything to avoid it. I had precancerous cervical cells and needed minor surgery called a LEEP. Right now I might need it again.
Hey Doctor Mike. I am just a concerned citizen with a question: What does being separated from the WHO mean for America, really? From your professional perspective, can you please share your expectations, good and bad, of what we might expect in this aftermath? I'm sure you are already working on a video about this and possibly other recent developments in America. Just would love to hear your perspective. Thank you for your time.
I’d love to hear your opinion on TMS and the genetic testing for mental health medication, or have a specialist on the podcast to discuss their thoughts on those topics. Genetic testing helped me get my medication regimen on a really good track, but I know it can still be somewhat controversial and I’ve been recommended TMS several times but I’ve always been unsure
I’m a nurse at a TMS clinic, let me know if you have any questions!
I've had probably over 200++ tms sessions, it's saved my life. I can think with a filter and not rage react against myself. TMS is life saving.
as a type 1 diabetic, I'm pretty sad that the thing to be excited about is to have MORE wires attached to me 😔
healthier is better tho. AI will cure everything eventually
Also t1d here. They're actually making great progress with stem cell therapy, it's worked perfectly for 3 people so far. It'll mean that diabetics like u or me could live life like normal without wires at all!
@emmetclancy8738 the only problem with stem cell therapy in diabetic patients is that making your pancreas produce insulin would be the easy part. Having it do so in a controllable and safe manor that wouldn't over or underproduce insulin is the hard part. Its like turning on a faucet, while slightly nudging the knob and fully pulling on it both lead to water pouring out, the amount of water would be significantly different in both cases.
@emmetclancy8738 I also have T1D and technology does help with sugar levels and so does insulin pumps they help. Maybe one day we will have a cure. T1DStrong
would you rather just have no help at all?
I went through tms treatment for my ptsd and mdd, about 2 years later and I promise it saved my life. I went from wanting to die every day to never even thinking about it. Maybe it’s a fleeting thought, but it doesn’t control my life. It took a while to see the results, but now that I can look back i see I’m so blessed to have the opportunity to do tms.
Thanks for sharing content on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). As an interventional psychiatrist, I've done TMS for several years and seen the benefits first hand. With a response rate of about 60% on average, that's a big deal for depression! ...especially when you consider that the side effects are minimal - it's just magnetic pulses, and different from ECT (electrical energy). Of course, it does not help everyone but this is definitely worth trying out. Total of 36 treatment sessions. Each one lasts 19 minutes. There is also the faster Theta-Burst procedure which lasts just 3 minutes. No anesthesia needed and many of my patients drive back to work after their session. Even though TMS has been available in the US since 2008, it is still not well known. We need to continue to spread awareness of this amazing treatment modality as I've seen it help hundreds of patients in my practice. I could talk about TMS for days! 😂 Again, thanks for sharing!
personally tech that can support or lower wait times for diagnosis of auto immune disorders / diseases would be amazing because im currently waiting and it could take 6 months to a year to get a exact diagnosis
Dr. Natter!! Being type 1 myself, I'm used to seeing him on Instagram in the online diabetes community, many of whom are actual patients of his and say he is a great dr. I'm glad to see him in the video and hope to see more of him!
First, Hi doctor mike! I hope you know everything your doing is amazing. Second, you inspire me everyday wanting to watch your videos and learn new things. Lastly, I hope you know how much WE ALL love you and will always support you. When i was sick on Monday (1-20-25) Ive watched so many of your videos and I want you to keep going. Ive been a fan since I was 9. (For six years. I'm now 15 turning 16) I love you and your videos! Keep going!! ❤😃
I'm so excited to hear the rheumatologist and oncologist talking about CAR-T therapy. I make one of these for a living, and I've been so excited about it since I entered the field, but I don't talk to doctors or patients so I'm glad it's making waves outside of the facilities which make them
I tried TMS for my depression and it did not help me at all. It felt like a waste of money. I hope it gives more benefits to other people that might need it.
I'd like to try it to cure my depression. Are SSRIs better?
@JohnDoe-m4w2jI'm not a doctor but my understanding is it just varies from person to person. For some people, they're ok after TMS. Other people need to go back for a boost every so often. But there are people it just doesn't work for.
The same is true with any other psychiatric medication. One medicine might be great for some people but make others feel even worse. You don't know until you try it.
@JohnDoe-m4w2j I have tried many medications and have not found one that has helped yet.
I had it, definitely did something. I’d give it 3/10-4/10. It’s better than medication
These are actually some of my favorite types of videos from you. (and the other professionals!)
I'm glad you keep doing them and love learning even just a tidbit from each and every one of you.
As someone with a psychology degree I burst out laughing at the magnets thing because its so true!! I've said for years that, because psychology is so new, there's some upcoming treatments that seem like literal magic for how they're done. Like EMDR therapy, you wave a stick in front of a patients eyes while they recount traumatic events and their PTSD is cured almost entirely within a really short time (simplified but that was my experience of having it for my own PTSD). Magnets are a whole other level of incredible. In my time at uni, there were TMS machines compact enough to do a demonstration during a lecture where they can activate certain muscles on a person's body. There's so much we don't know about the brain (and also magnets/ magnetic fields from my brief understanding of the physics field) that this new technology is just fascinating and will hopefully help so many people!
I'm extremely skeptical of that magnet treatment... Sounds like a short-term symptomatic treatment, rather than a psychological root-cause fix. Basically a more inconvenient version of anti-depression pills.
@James-gm9cs That may be true. I'm from the UK so these innovations are just that (in my opinion/ understanding) and could help improve the admittedly shitty mental health services here. But in America, skepticism is probably really warranted if it does require lifelong reoccurring treatments as that's unfortunately a great model for predatory profits.
Have you heard of TRE? That looks very intriguing...
@@kyleyjs The same ones that shown that Lobotomies were highly ineffective and had many adverse effects on patients. Magnetic treatments have similar vibes...
EMDR is simply marketing garbage. What is new about it doesn't work. The rest has been around for decades. Are they really teaching you that?
I’m so excited that TMS is getting the hype it deserves! I administer TMS treatments at a clinic here in Canada and I love seeing my patients get better.
Wish they could highlight endometriosis infiltrations that are almost impossible to see with the naked eye….like GI polyps…
Australian scientists are actually developing a blood test for endometriosis now! One step toward improving endo treatment:)
One thing I’m excited about is the apps/websites available to help schedule future and/or last minute appointments without the need for telephone communication, as someone with auditory processing disorder telephone communication uses up so many of my spoons that even short conversations are very draining to me and I like being able to avoid that altogether through online communication which is a thousand times easier for me!
It's nice to see these new medical innovations being made as well as put on the market for usage for patients who *need* it but unfortunately almost all of these treatments would probably get denied by the insurance companies as they would deem it as "Unnecessary" or "Risky" or "Expensive" despite the fact that they would help a lot 🙄
@TeIe-qram-OfficialDoctorMike1 lmfao 😂😂😂
I am currently doing a course of rtms (the magnet psychiatry one). So far the depression definitely feels... dampened. But only half way through the course so ramining hopeful! Great to see it on here along with all the other amazing innovative new medical treatments
Would really love an episode on the TMS stuff too - Ive been recommended 'Flow Nueroscience' Headset, an at home device, but feeling skeptical about its safety
Great video doc… promising medical on the horizon … thanks for keeping us updated
Could you please talk about Inflammatory Bowel Disease in one of your videos? I was diagnosed with UC a couple months ago and it would mean so much to hear you talk about it!
One of my friends has very severe depression and migraines, and she actually went through a clinical trial where they did TMS. She told me the treatment significantly helped her symptoms and has improved her life greatly!
Some of the stuff is so exciting!
We need more of these. "New Tech" type videos are EXTREMELY interesting and exciting.
My bf has an appointment in the morning for an SI joint fusion. They did his other one not long ago. They use robotics to basically drill a hole and filling it up with cadaver bone tissue. The first procedure helped him with some of his back pain so hopefully this one will have great results!
As someone with lupus I have been trying to get into the Car-T cell therapy trials
Doctor Mike, please make a video on endometriosis! One in ten women have this disease. On average it takes seven to ten years to be diagnosed. I myself suffer from it and hope to inform as many people as I can about it. I’ve seen some women ask you about pain in their uterus/bleeding for weeks at a time. While I know these can be related to other issues they are also symptoms of endometriosis. The more informed women are the quicker they may be diagnosed and receive care. Please consider this topic! Love your videos 💕
Is there any innovation when it comes to training new and existing doctors on how to treat patients with disabilities? My son is Autistic and non speaking. He uses an augmentative communication device. I love his primary care physician, but anytime we might need to visit an urgent care or specialist, they don't know how to treat him with compassion. Often I'll get asked if he is experiencing a symptom, but I have no idea since he won't communicate symptoms. It just feels like many doctors and health professionals don't understand.
I work at a lab that studies TMS not for mental health, but for chronic pain. But the effectiveness of it on depression got me interested in it initially!
YAY A NEW VIDEO❤❤
2:58 Technology is SO CUTE! ❤
I was a patient in an rTMS (rapid TMS) study in Canada for treatment-resistant depression. It didnt help me, and I found it somewhat painful. My totally unqualified opinion, though, is that it could work; one day I felt exceptionally dismal after a treatment, which makes me think the treatment altered my mood that one day.
Hi Dr. Mike have a suggestions 1. Every few months, post a video on your favorite reads, I found myself getting into books you suggest. Thanks
I tried TMS. Dropped over $2000 on copays alone and unfortunately reaped zero benefits. Just my experience.
I got TMS and it worked great. I feel like I need to go again. After treatment for about a year and a half, I was highly functional even during a down swing in mood. I'm back to having difficulty doing anything again. Lost my insurance though and can't get the treatment I need.
The use of magnets for mental health sounds really wild. I feel apprehensive about it. It sounds too good to be true.
My sisters OCD used to be horrible, and no medications really helped. She started TMS and it helped so much for her!
I had TMS done about a year ago and it literally changed my life. Easily one of the best things to ever happen to me.
I'm doing the TMS second appointment today. I'm hopeful. No meds have worked for my depression so I'm really hoping for the best ❤️
Ohh God Final Destination 😰 7:01
2:14 TMS changed my life after medication and endless therapy didn't move the needle on my treatment resistant depression. amazing technology!
While these are exciting innovations, I want to know what the medical community is doing to reduce prices? Because lets face it, if you have a bad hospitalization or illness that could mean life-long debt. At some point with all the AI tech out there, someone is going to try and get these costs down and that might mean removing doctors from the equation. When I had an ER doctor look at me last year, he spent maybe 5 minutes talking to me and I got a bill for $2000.
There's a medical oath that says "do no harm." If I go and see you and trade out a serious medical condition for life-long debt, how is that not breaking that oath? Financial harm is still harm.
Thanks for sharing Dr. Mike. It amazes me what can be done these days. 😊
I just reported a fake Doctor Mike.
I’m here! Great video!
I would have LOVED TMS a few years ago and through my while childhood. I had horrible migraines that doctors never did anything about. I was in SO much pain all the time
I'd like more precisions on TMS therapy and the results of the research on it. I have bipolar disorder and life is difficult for me. I am lucky to live in a country where we have "free" healthcare and to have good therapists but I'm desperate to get healthy soon.
Same here. I also have free healthcare, but this one is not covered. So, it's about 10,000€. And I cannot take the risk of this not working 😣
I really want Dr Mike to watch an episode of M.A.S.H, at least one of the more medical episodes. It’s by far one of my favourite shows ever.
He already did years ago. I know he reacted to at least one episode, but it might have been two. Just youtube search "Dr. Mike MASH" and it should come up.
Dang, happened to tap right away because I just happened to be messaging someone when the notification came up. There was already a handful of comments 😂
true lol
i really enjoy this type of video where you ask different doctors, its really cool to see different opinions of specialists

I had TMS therapy. Can say it has drastically improved my mood. Fixed my depression. But as someone with Autism it does seem to have reduced some Autistic symptoms i had. So it was a two fold treatment that helped me alot. And was told by my team that helped me that new advancement's is making it so its not a full month of therapy but rather a day to a week in time frame. Its great!
Bro I love yo videos man
As someone with MS that CAR-T cells part for a cure for autoimmune diseases really piqued my interest. All these different medicines is really just like putting bandaid on, we really need something that can really cure
People forget AI isn’t always bad
TMS is so fascinating! I helped write a meta analysis on how TMS can be used in stroke applications

Transcranial magnetic stimulation saved my life 👍
I’m thrilled TMS was mentioned as it seems it might be the miracle cure that OCD sufferers need. I’ve heard of brain implants for OCD being used, but that is so invasive.
HI mike love ur vids!!!
I love how much enthusiasm you all have for medical developments coming down the pipeline. It’s so inspiring to see❤
Hi I’m a big fan of you videos
Can you make a video about the new GLP-1 medication Amycretin made by novo Nordic
Early gang where yall at
THIS is what we should be developing AI for! Not for stealing art, but for actually improving our society! Also! I've been hearing about the 3D printed skin for a while now, and it's honestly what I'm most excited about. I don't have any person reasons to be excited, but it just feels like a stepping stone for so much more. If they can 3D print skin, what about your other organs? Can they 3D print a heart? Lungs? Maybe even a stomach? It may be used primarily for aesthetic reasons atm, but I see no reason why it can't go even further if they succeed with this first step. And I'm saying "aesthetic reasons" lightly, since I know the skin especially is extremely vital and will probably save billions of lives; especially with all the fires happening constantly now. I'm just so fricking excited for the possibility it represents! Honestly, I'm so glad you posted this video; it feels like something I desperately needed to hear. Medicine IS improving in all fields, and if we can do this today, what can we do tomorrow?
These are great, but I can’t help but think that the average person isn’t going to be able to afford these.
Another good one! Thanks Doctor Mike
Magnets for depression? I am sceptical.
The presentation in the video is a bit oversimplified.
It didn't work for me personally, but the science behind is pretty solid.
It is similar to Electro Convulsive Therapy (electroshock therapy).
Loops of high power electromagnets (think miniature MRT) induce rappidly altering current, in a localized region in your brain. Zapping your neurons.
I've got a rather low threshold, and for test calibration it is directed at your motor cortex. It was a weak impulse, and I was still throwing my right hand.
I get your scepticism considering the huge amount of esoteric quack products, but this isn't a 'EMR blocking pendant', but sophisticated high tech equipment based on (a lot of) peer reviewed studies and advancemnt of prior tech (ECT).
It can work actually... Lots of professionals are able to lock out their negative thoughts to be able to function day by day. I believe its a scientific thing
I have seen it as a possible treatment for years now and I'm also skeptical, especially when it can supposedly improve or cure multiple things. I have treatment resistant depression and I think a lot of treatments are snake oil tbh.
I had it done already. (rTMS) I can tell you it works. Your scepticism comes from ignorance.
@@shroomykI had depression too so I feel ya, thankfully mine was reversed by meds but this sounds awesome.
Oooh, TMS is great fun! Not sure what settings they use in treatment, but I did a study for a colleague where they used it to interrupt signals to the arm muscles at the start of a reaching movement. Felt like someone tapping my head with a knuckle (like a single knock on a door).😅
My lady had TMS and it didn't work for her. It was working but then they changed the position of the magnet thing and it quit working. She's worse now than before she had TMS.
Yeah it did not help with my depression.
technicians don't change the position of the magnet during treatment. they find the best spot to place the magnet during mapping. this position remains the same through all the treatments.
maybe you meant that they changed the amount of Hz delivered through the magnet, or the speed. but the position would not have changed.
Yeah, I have a friend (actually a friend's ex-wife) who underwent TMS and seemed much better for about two months afterward, then she spiraled out of control. Her depression and OCD got way worse. The doc said it may have been a coincidence, but now she doesn't trust anyone and is trying to self-microdose her way out of depression. It's causing my friend lots of stress even though they're no longer married. She relies on him for stuff still.
Yeah, that's why I could never take the plunge. Anyone who acts like it isn't a huge gamble is ignorant at best.
AI will help insurance companies cut cost bypassing MD/DO'S and utilizing PA's, Nurse P, Robitics. Primary care doctors will become like retail self checkout counters: one doctor will monitor muliple PA's, NA'S, MA'S, etc. Difficult cases will be refered to Doctor AI Specialist.
0:10 So you prescribe blood pressure meds to DOZENS of patients just to help ONE ? Not sure I'm a fan of those odds.
So what he's describing is a biostatistical value called NNT (number needed to treat). It's the inverse of the risk reduction for a drug. Because one drug can't reduce the risk 100% there's always gonna be a NNT >1. It sounds like the drugs are useless in people except for rare conditions when it works, but it's actually not the case.
@@hassanes3360None of that makes any sense to me as a layperson. Why does he have to throw medicine at dozens of people to treat one person?
@@amazinggrapes3045 Yes. That's why Doctors.
@@amazinggrapes3045 think of it like this. Let’s say there’s a 100% risk of getting a stroke in a patient. The drug reduces the risk by 20%. You can then say the NNT is 100/20=5. ie: “It would take me treating 5 patients to completely help 1”.
That doesn’t mean that the other 4 people won’t get any benefit in getting the drug. They’re all getting the risk of the stroke reduced by taking the medication. Does that make sense?
@@amazinggrapes3045 we have everybody who drives (who has hypertension) wear seatbelts (antihypertensives)
Over the course of a year, only a small percent of people will actually get in a crash (one of dozens of hypertension-associated complications like CAD, aneurysms, CVAs, etc etc).
But just because most people who drive don’t get in crashes, doesn’t mean they aren’t safer by wearing a seatbelt.
We prevent the complications not because everyone will is bound to have them, but because the nature of being on the road (again, analogous to being hypertensive) is that you are at a higher risk of being in a car related accident
The other thing to consider is NNT is a value for over a certain time period. The NNT for antihypertensives of 1 in 12 refers to studies like ASCOT-BPLA which looked over the course of ~5 years. The data is limited, but studies that directly look at NNT for longer time periods of hypertension treatment suggest the risk reduction increases over time.
I.e. some of the complications take longer than 5 years to develop at an aggregate scale, and so 5 years of monitoring really underestimates the effects of treatment
Dr Mike, thanks so much for making these videos. I am so lonely and sad and watching you makes me feel a little better. ❤🎉
@ um does this seem sus to anyone else???🧐🤨
My only question is 🙋🏼♀️: How long will it take to make these innovations available to the general public and will they be covered by insurances, especially for poor & elderly?
With a class war now, I’m hoping these things won’t just be for the elite (plainly: those with a lot of money).
Interesting indeed. Thanks Dr. Mike! 💙🦋💙
The rich will benefit, the poor will likely continue to suffer. This is health care in the US.
