“rTMS” therapy is inappropriate for children, a statement from a specialized academic society. The company issued a statement stating that the drug's effectiveness and safety in children have not been confirmed and that it is inappropriate to use it on children.
“It is not a treatment that does not exist," said the representative director of the Japanese Society of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry'', which is made up of child psychiatry experts. The statement said that guidelines from another professional society clearly state that this treatment should not be used in people under 18.
