Although there is a large amount of literature indicating the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (trMDD), the authors did not find any literature supporting rTMS for MDD with the comorbid condition of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Here, we report an original case of a patient whose trMDD and PTSD remitted using rTMS at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that primarily affects young women and has a high morbidity and mortality rate. Hospitalization effectively overcomes the acute phase, prevents progression to chronicity and promotes lasting changes. Our aim is to establish a prior therapeutic contract and systematize hospitalization in three stages comprising: clinical and nutritional approaches, individual and group psychotherapy, family therapy, occupational therapy, body therapy and pharmacotherapy. Because of the multiple determination of anorexia nervosa and the risk involved, treatment must be carried out by a multidisciplinary team.
