Profile
Marcelo T. Berlim, MD, MSc, received his medical and psychiatric training and earned his master’s degree in Brazil. He then enrolled in a two-year clinical and research fellowship in depressive disorders at the Douglas Institute and McGill University.
Marcelo Berlim is mainly interested in the study and treatment of depressive disorders with state-of-the-art neuromodulation or brain stimulation techniques, including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation [rTMS] and transcranial direct current stimulation [tDCS].
He also uses neuromodulation approaches in combination with neuropsychological evaluations to study well-known predisposing factors for suicidal behaviour, namely decision-making deficits and heightened impulsivity.
