Marcelo Berlim, MD, MSc, did his medical and psychiatric training and earned his master’s degree in Brazil. He also did a two-year clinical and research fellowship in depressive disorders at the Douglas Institute and McGill University. In 2010, Marcelo Berlim and Martin Lepage, PhD, founded the Neuromodulation Research Clinic at the Douglas Institute.
Marcelo Berlim is mainly interested in the study and treatment of depressive disorders with the use of state-of-the-art neuromodulation techniques, including:
- repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation [rTMS]
- transcranial direct current stimulation [tDCS]
- deep transcranial magnetic stimulation [DTMS]
He also uses neuromodulation and brain imaging to investigate the neurobiological/neuropsychological basis of a well-known predisposing factor for suicidal behavior: decision-making deficits. Overall, his findings could lead to new approaches to understanding and treating depression and suicidality.
