It also says that TMS increases serotonin and dopamine - if it increases dopamine, couldn't that increase the risk of psychosis?! But I don't really think that it's as simple as too much dopamine = psychosis, because aripirazole/Abilify works to increase dopamine in some areas and reduce it in others, so I've been thinking that too much dopamine in some brain areas causes positive symptoms, and too little dopamine in other areas causes the negative symptoms, but I don't have any evidence for that idea or know which brain areas correlate with which dopamine concentration (I'm still struggling to understand scientific journals, which is a pain given I can skim-read fiction/autobiographies with no problems now) Sorry, rambling!

Still cheaper than an inpatient stay here in the states....and if it can potentially change your ability to work that's kind of huge..
