Brain-stimulation PTSD treatment shows 68% remission

A newly FDA-cleared PTSD treatment uses personalized brain mapping and magnetic stimulation. In a clinical trial, symptoms fell by 52% and 68% of patients reached remission. Researchers say the approach could guide more precise treatments for other mental illnesses.
