Today on The Point, we talk about newer interventions in mental health.

Our panel of behavioral health experts talk about recently developed medications and other treatments like TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, and EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.  What are they and how do they work?

They also share their thoughts on how to find the help you need and avoid common mistakes.

Our guests are psychiatrist Marc Whaley, psychiatrist Jonathan Schwartz, and social worker Jenny Putnam.
