I would like to know of any doctors, hospitals, clinics or university
programs in California or Nevada that are currently using new
treatments for depression such as hormone therapy, the use of vagal
nerve pacemakers, and transcranial magnetic stimulation or other
magnetic therapy. I need to know specific names, addresses and phone
numbers, and whether they are taking new patients. (I submitted this
question earlier, but I had set up an account with the incorrect
e-mail address and used "klynne" for my nickname with a $25 price.  I
don't know if you received it.  If so, please cancel that account, and
just answer this question.  Thank you.

Hi Klynne1,

I'm not sure what happened to your original question, so I'll just
leave some comments instead.  You might be in touch with the NAMI in
Santa Cruz and they may have a list of referrals for you in California
at least.  Here are the phone numbers in case your researcher would
like to call on Monday.

This article lists John Barry, M.D. at Stanford University's
Depression Clinic as one of the vagus nerve stimulator investigators:
