What if you could rewire your brain to break free from addiction or depression? In this episode, Elijah, Danny, and Kyla sit down with Dr. Antonello Bonci, a world-renowned neurologist, to unpack how TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is flipping the script on mental health treatment.

We kick things off with a Mental Health Around the World trivia game before diving into Dr. Bonci’s work in Italy and the U.S., where he’s using non-invasive brain stimulation to treat addiction, depression, and beyond. Can TMS help prevent relapse? Are some people just wired for addiction? And what actually happens to the brain when using cocaine? Is TMS shock therapy?

Dr. Bonci breaks down how TMS rewires neural pathways, how it compares to traditional treatments like antidepressants and talk therapy, and why this cutting-edge technology could be the future of mental health. From the science of impulsivity to the long-term effects of chronic stress, this episode is packed with insights on the power of brain stimulation therapy.
