Abstract
We aimed to Examine the safety and effectiveness of HF-rTMS in a treatment-refractory bipolar I patient in a mixed affective
episode. Our case illustrates that “combative” HF-rTMS therapy could be a safe and valid treatment alternative for refractory
bipolar I patients in mixed episode, not successfully treated with ECT.
Keywords
