ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for diagnosing and treating Amygdala Related Transitory Disorders, comprising selecting a patient who has symptoms suggesting ARTD, stimulating said patient's amygdala with a magnetic field, and determining whether said stimulus with a magnetic field is capable of inducing or aggravating symptoms of ARTD. Additional embodiments comprise a method to determine the lowest dose of an anticonvulsant that will effectively control ARTD, and methods of using electromagnetic stimuli to treat ARTD by interfering with kindling or desensitizing the amygdala.
