Spoke with one of the experimental team members (most recent tests at Duke University) and was told that their preliminary results show that TMS doesn't work with Bipolar patients. There is another treatment being tested (was a part of this group), rTMS. It didn't change anything for me. I don't think the voltage is high enough to do much.
