Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an established psychiatric procedure for patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Biomarker identification to predict rTMS outcomes may assist the clinician in optimizing treatment selection. In recent years, different electrophysiological markers, in particular electroencephalographic (EEG) markers, were shown to yield discriminative power between responders and non-responders to various TRD treatments.

- The study aimed to evaluate the quality of psychiatric discharge summaries (DS) written by the AI ChatGPT-4 compared to those written by psychiatric residents.
- Results showed that human-written summaries were rated significantly higher than AI-generated ones, with statistical significance in most evaluated categories.
- While AI DS did not fully match the quality of human-written summaries, they demonstrated potential for use as templates or starting points that could save physicians time in documentation.
Article Synopsis
- - This study explored an eight-week therapy program combining nasal ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) with trauma-focused psychotherapy for patients suffering from chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD.
- - Three participants showed significant improvements in PTSD symptoms and depression scores after the therapy, with reductions in additional issues like anxiety and emotional regulation.
- - Despite positive outcomes, the authors stress the need for randomized controlled trials to verify these results and evaluate the effectiveness against trauma therapy without ketamine.
