Transcript:



Bill Leonard, President & CEO of Greenbrook: "I really don't don't think people understand the impact depression has. I had a chance to see up close and personal someone who I love very much go through a bout of depression and then I saw the treatment she got for depression. To watch someone I love just be sunken and withdrawn and change physically, I felt helpless, and I just felt there had to be something better out there."


Dr. Geoffrey Grammer, Chief Medical Officer for Greenbrook: "All the things I've done in medicine, the thing that has been sort of most transformative has been TMS."


Dr. Misty Borst, Medical Director for Greenbrook's Maryland Region: "TMS stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation. It is a non-invasive, FDA approved therapy for the treatment of depression."


Dr. Don DuBose, Medical Director for Greenbrook's South Carolina Region: "We're all taught that the treatment for depression is talk therapy and medications. For some people that just doesn't work."


Dr. Will Sauvé, Medical Director for Greenbrook's Virginia Region: "You look at any medication that has been FDA approved approved for depression between the mid-1980s and now, most of them are all just kind of a different spin on one or more of three different things."


Dr. Borst: "And then TMS came along. TMS was radically different from the other depression treatments."


Dr. Grammer: "It was clear very early on that this was a paradigm

changer in the field of psychiatry and when people respond to TMS they respond in ways that are far more dramatic than I've seen with other modalities."


Dr. Sauvé: "Almost never in just about any psychiatrist career can you expect to have regular conversations with people who have gotten well."


Dr. Grammer: "TMS is targeted to the individual. We measure on that person's head exactly the spot that is associated with depressive symptoms."


Dr. Borst: "And by that we know exactly where to move for that patient's particular head and brain to optimize the treatment."


Dr. Grammer: "So what we're doing is a high-low to find out just the right amount of energy to stimulate your brain."


Mr. Leonard: "At Greenbrook, we handle all the insurance dialogue, we work with the patient in terms of convenient hours for that patient to come."


Dr. Grammer: "We will take people by the hand and help them through the entire process in a way that is very comfortable and quite pleasant.

Bill Leonard:  And I think that's a real advantage, when you are able to take the stress out of that patient's TMS therapy journey."


Dr. DuBose: "The patient experience is second to none. Greenbrook has done a great job of making the experience succinct and easy."


Dr. Grammer: "Everyone who is involved in the company have had either a family member, or loved one, a friend, who have been impacted by a mental health issue and that sort of gives us a zeal to do everything we can to get this therapy out to those who need it."


Mr. Leonard: "At Greenbrook TMS, we have the chance to change lives. We really feel like we are helping to change the world in how depression is treated."
