The future of treating Union Square Donuts opens in Brookline major depression By Alexander Culafi

JAMA Psychiatry reports that nearly 15 million Americans suffer from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and only around 50% of patients will respond to traditional antidepressants. The other half will either not respond to antidepressants or can’t tolerate the drugs due to side effects.

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an FDA-cleared treatment by Israelicompany Brainsway in which a helmet is placed over a patient’s head, and “brief magnetic fields – at an amplitude similar to that used in an MRI – are generated – that briefly stimulate the targeted brain area,” according to a Brainsway press release.

Union Square Donuts has finally opened its doors in Brookline, at 409 Harvard Street.

following those at Boston Public Market and Somerville.

The launch was sudden, and far sooner than I thought it would be.

I’m a donut guy, so of course I was there on day 1. I met Owner and Founder Josh Danoff.

I can say firsthand that I know a number of individuals close to me who suffer from episodes of depression (if not formally being diagnosed with MDD), and their success stories range wildly.

It adds, “the therapy is highly convenient, requiring only 20-minute daily sessions over a course of 4 to 5 weeks; after each session, patients can return home independently and carry out normal routines.”

On January 17, we called their main office. A cheerful representative picked up and told me how excited they all are. She then added:

I know people who have found great success in therapy and medication, but I also know a few of those crippled by MDD, who go from drug to drug and sometimes even gain drug dependence without effectively treating the depression.

It’s hard to look at some magnet helmet and not get skeptical. I know I was – I know I am, but it has been recognized as effective enough to be covered by a number of insurance plans and Medicare. Brainsway estimates that 200 million Americans are already covered for it. About 100 outpatient facilities around the U.S. utilize it now.

Because of these experiences, and because I myself am someone who cares about mental health and goes to therapy from time to time (I don’t suffer from depression, but I think therapy is good for just about everyone), I was intrigued when I got tipped off to Deep TMS.

I found a study in World Psychiatry utilizing 212 MDD outpatients to test out

On Twitter, via their handle @UnionSqDonuts, they wrote, “Brookline we're coming for you! See you soon!” on January 13.

“The only thing I can tell you is that we hope to open very, very soon, and we will communicate on our social media channels later this week about the opening date.” That was last Tuesday, January 17. Minutes after we called, they Tweeted again, “Keep your eyes peeled for updates on our Brookline shop!” They opened less than 24 hours later. January 18 marked their first day in business, the soft opening for a grand opening that took place the following day. Brookline marks their third location,

“We’re very excited to be finally opening,” he told me. “There was something about the neighborhood here that definitely attracted us.” I asked him why he chose to go into the donut business. “I think the question is: why not donuts? There’s something timeless about donuts. It can happen with music, and it can also happen with food, where there’s that sense memory of food. And when you walk in here, whether you’ve had or you haven’t had our donuts, the smell – it’s familiar. It takes you back.” Danoff ’s favorite donut is the Cinnamon Sugar. “It’s a nice simple donut that highlights the dough,” he said, which is what I expected coming from the owner. If I was the owner

rookline residents by and large met the inauguration of Donald Trump as president predictably. Most residents and voters here expressed continued dismay over the situation, which was exacerbated by the inauguration. It is impossible to know how the Trump presidency will play out. After all, administrations come and administrations go, and we never know what is going to happen until it spills all over us. History has a way of evening everything out. Among those of you who think about inaugurations or speeches as seminal moments or defining statements were all disappointed in Trump’s populist message. Many pundits said the speech should have been about reconciliation – as though a speech preaching reconciliation, as former President Obama made twice, leads to reconciliation. It doesn’t. They didn’t. We remained hopelessly divided for 8 years with President Obama despite (or because of) his brilliant speeches. We remain divided as President Trump gets underway. Brookline voters, however, are not divided. They are unanimously against whatever this administration has to offer – and so it will be for the next 4 years. Brookline voters revile the new president. They don’t believe America will be made great again. They insist we are entering a period and heading down a road leading us all on a journey into the heart of darkness.

BARRY SHRAGE AND NEIL WALLACH

othing has changed about our insistence that Barry Shrage, CEO of the billion dollar Combined Jewish Philanthropies, who is driven around town by a chauffeur, should return the $1.3 million retirement bonus he received from the CJP Board led by its chair, Neil Wallach. We had Shrage’s name and photograph correct in the last issue, but we had the wrong photograph and misspelled Wallach’s name, spelling it Wallack and using the photograph of a fellow named Wallack, who is a major fundraiser for the CJP. We apologize for these errors, which we refer to as a doubleheader. We want to again ask that the real Mr. Wallach, the architect of Shrage’s retirement bonus (he isn’t retiring), among other perks like paying off Shrage’s home loan and on and on, resign from his Board chair position for doing so. As the Jewish community disintegrates around it, the CJP and its leadership remains unto itself.

ROTARY CLUB VISIT

was invited by the new president of the local Rotary Club, Claudia Dellanno, to attend and to speak at the most recent meeting of the Brookline Rotary Club. I did both. Lunch was fabulous, including the tomato soup from Trader Joe’s and some fantastic sandwiches. About 25 members were in attendance. I gave a short talk about the Voice newspapers and what exactly I am trying to do with these publications, a mission statement of sorts. This was a humbling moment I am grateful for. Thank you, Brookline Rotary.

THE NEW DONUT IN TOWN

he Union Square Donut Shop located on North Beacon Street has opened another location, this time on Harvard Street in the center of Brookline’s bustling Harvard Street commercial nexus. Let the word go forth that these are arguably the best donuts that can be bought in Brookline today. The dough is just right (although some will find the donuts too big and too doughy), the confectioners sugar has just the right sweetness, and the donuts are cooked for near to immediate consumption, so they are always fresh and ready to go bite-by-bite into your mouth. If you need coffee to wash down the doughnut or ice cold milk, they are above average additions to a great donut experience. I did a cinnamon donut and a cold milk. Like our reporter Alexander Culafi, I’m a bit of a donut aficionado. I don’t eat Dunkin Donuts products. It isn’t a class or money thing. I just don’t like Dunkin’s donuts.

Brookline, MA

Union Square’s donuts are a real treat.

Union Square Donuts opens in Brookline Continued from page 1 of a donut shop, my favorite donut would be the one that places the most emphasis of the dough, or in other words, the star of the whole operation. I tried the Cinnamon Sugar (which is also a vegan option if that interests you), and boy, is it tasty. The dough is fluffy and warm, and the sugar adds a familiar sweetness that really does take me back just a little. I liked the other one I had, Sea Salted Bourbon Caramel, even more. The glaze is reminiscent of a honey dipped donut with a light twist, but the salt sprinkle takes it over the top. You know how a little salt takes a margarita to a whole new level?

Same thing here. It was named Boston’s Best Donut by Boston Magazine, and if my opinion counts for anything, I can see why. I love Blackbird and Kane’s as much as the next guy, but Union Square Donuts are far and away the best I’ve had in the whole of Greater Boston. They’re the kind of donuts where they leave grease stains after being picked up from a napkin, so maybe go for a nice long walk after eating one. I know I will. “It’s donuts and coffee,” Danoff said. “Can’t beat it.” The shop is open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Palestinians cross the Kalandia checkpoint on their way into Jerusalem June 10, 2016.

10 ‘humiliating’ minutes at an Israeli checkpoint By Stephen Flatow/JNS.org Hearing complaints about Israeli checkpoints that supposedly restrict the movement of Arabs in Judea and Samaria, filmmaker Ami Horowitz of Fox News decided to see for himself. He hired a Palestinian driver and experienced what it’s like for Palestinians crossing at the checkpoints that separate Israel from Palestinian Authority-controlled areas for the purpose of preventing weapons smuggling. Horowitz asked three different Palestinians at the Kalandia checkpoint how long it takes them to get through on a typical day, and all three said, “10 minutes.” Therein lies the trade-off when it comes to Israeli checkpoints, writes JNS. org columnist Stephen M. Flatow: a 10-minute delay for Palestinians versus hundreds of possible terror attacks against Israel each year.

New Brookline Holocaust film comes to Coolidge Corner Theatre Soul Witness, The Brookline Holocaust Witness Project, is going to be shown at Coolidge Corner Theatre on January 26 at 7 p.m. The event presents the movie as a work-inprogress film by R. Harvey Bravman and “features footage from approximately 80 hours of video interviews conducted by the Town of Brookline between 1990-1996 of residents who witnessed the Holocaust,” according to the Coolidge Corner Theatre website. Production on the film started in the late 1980s, Brookline Hub reports (Director Bravman is the publisher of the publication). “In the late 1980s, two Brookline residents, Regina Barshak, who was a witness to the Holocaust, and Leon Satenstein, who saw the liberation of the concentration camps during World War II, worked to create a living memorial by interviewing local residents who had witnessed the Holocaust,” the Hub story says.

The two enlisted Lawrence L. Langer, Professor Emeritus of English at Simmons College, to conduct these interviews. After the 80 hours of interviews were gathered, the tapes weren’t utilized until 2014, when the tapes were discovered by Brookline’s Chief Diversity Officer Lloyd Gellineau, who showed them to Bravman, who then digitized the tapes and got to work. Bravman wrote, edited, and co-produced the project. Rob Kirwin edited and also coproduced the film.

‘Hostile’ Israeli media quick to indict Netanyahu in corruption probes, experts say By Alex Traiman/JNS.org Two separate investigations into the conduct of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have dominated headlines in the Israeli media during the past several weeks. While Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit has yet to announce whether any indictments are forthcoming and many details of the cases remain unknown, many Israeli journalists and members of the political opposition are piecing together initial details to reach what experts are warning could be prematurely negative conclusions on the prime minister’s conduct. Dr. Jonathan Spyer, director of the Rubin Center for Research in International Affairs at Israel’s Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya university, said it should come as no surprise that many journalists are “hostile” to Netanyahu. “For those that think this is an obituary for Netanyahu, that obituary has been written many times,” said Mitchell Barak, an Israeli pollster and public opinion expert.

The documentary is 65 minutes long, and the event will also feature a “video tribute to Regina Barshak and Leon Satenstein, founders of the Brookline Holocaust Memorial Project,” and in addition, “Adam Strom of Facing History and Ourselves moderates a question and answer session with Holocaust testimony expert Lawrence Langer and Soul Witness director R. Harvey Bravman.” Tickets are $25.

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for ambassador to the United Nations.

Haley, Trump’s pick for UN envoy, slams world body for ‘long history of anti-Israel bias’ JNS.org South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for ambassador to the United Nations, harshly criticized the world body over its “long history of anti-Israel bias” in testimony Wednesday to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Haley was also highly critical of President Barack Obama’s decision to refuse to veto last month’s U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Israel for its settlement policy, which she called a “terrible mistake.” She pledged to reject future U.N. measures that unfairly target the Jewish state.

The future of treating major depression

Continued from page 1 Deep TMS, and the results actually back the official company line up – something I did not fully expect. “The present randomized and placebocontrolled trial demonstrates that DTMS is an effective and tolerable treatment for patients with MDD who have not successfully responded to treatment with antidepressant medications in the current episode.” The study went even further, and said that, “clinically significant improvement was seen in even the higher treatment-resistant patients.” I got ahold of Dr. Keith Ablow, one of the country’s leading psychiatrists, to tell me about the effectiveness of Deep TMS on depression. He uses Deep TMS in his own practice, which he operates out of both Newburyport and Manhattan. Here’s what he had to say about it: Are there any side effects whatsoever? The side effects are very mild, and include things like a temporary headache. There are no known serious side effects of TMS. When you look at TMS versus being on two or three different medicines many people end up on, those can cause sexual dysfunction, weight gain, insomnia. There are many potential problems with them. Is this helmet just for those with MDD? What about people who are just sad sometimes? What about people who might have symptoms of depression but have never been formally diagnosed with it?

The Brainsway Deep TMS machine is FDA approved for actual major depression. So the illness, which is sadly all too common, affecting millions of millions of Americans that is called depression. It is also true that when they studied the machine on people who are given to periods of despondency, but wouldn’t qualify for depression, they also improved. But the company is not at liberty to market the machine for that purpose. Doctors could, but rarely do. How long do the positive effects of this treatment last after the therapy has completed? The good news is that after a series of – on average – 30 short visits, each of about 30 minutes in length, many people have their depressions resolve, and they do not return. The average person only has a single depression in his or her life, and that depression may last months. You cross your fingers and hope, you know, maybe we’ll be able to get through this with one course of treatment – of Deep TMS. It is also the case for Deep TMS that even if you’ve not benefited from multiple medications, and your depression is deeply rooted and has not been resolved, 50% of those people come out of their depressions using magnetic pulses. That’s amazing, and it may not return. If it does, you can come in for additional sessions. It doesn’t work for everyone. I have to say, my expectations were high, that this would help people, but they’ve been exceeded.

What’s the success rate? In my anecdotal experience, I would say that about three-quarters of people who use TMS benefit greatly. The data shows, and the data is limited to treatment-resistant depression, and in that population, it’s still 50 percent of patients who respond favorably, and whose depressions remit. What are your hopes for Deep TMS? My hopes for Deep TMS would be that more people learn that it exists, because it still blows me away that I tell people about it and they say, “I’ve never heard of it.” And they may be people who suffered

with depression for a decade. The word has to get out that there is a healing technique that is this effective with side effects that are so limited. Secondly, my hope is that as they continue testing it, that the FDA will end up approving it for other conditions, like obsessive-compulsive disorder, for smoking cessation, for weight-loss, and other indications, because then insurance companies will reimburse for that. And that will allow more people to access the machine for that purpose without having to pay out of pocket.

Dr. Keith Ablow: Paving the way to better treatment

Dr. Keith Ablow is an extraordinary man and a classic psychiatrist. He is an explorer attempting to gain entry into the recesses of our minds in the hope and with the ambition of helping us out with whatever it is that is ailing us mentally. In addition to psychiatry, he also has claims to fame as an award-winning New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, with nearly a dozen non-fiction books to his name, as well as a half-dozen fictional. He has written hundreds of articles for various publications, he almost ran for John Kerry’s U.S. Senate seat, and he’s made appearances on Fox News, Dr. Oz, and The Howard Stern Show, which is where I know him from. But what surprised me most is what he’s doing in his own practice out of Newburyport and Manhattan. In addition

to taking clients in person, he also treats people from all over the world and all across the country via video chatting services like Skype. “The mental healthcare field is in disarray,” he said. “Finding a clinician who will harness the best possible medications to use and the best possible advances, as well as someone who is able to think with you about your life, is not so common anymore. And so people find me from London, Paris, China, a patient in Russia, and also I’d say now in 35 states that want to make sure they get a comprehensive approach.” That raised an immediate question: would he be willing to prescribe medicine for someone he hasn’t met in person? “On occasion I will prescribe medicine to people I have met only on video conference, because many of these medicines are

tremendously well-tolerated. There are many people who are not novices in their use of antidepressants,” Dr. Ablow told me. “If someone is willing to tell me his or her life story over a video conference, and if someone is in a state that makes it permissible for me to prescribe medicine to them in that state, I have no problem doing so. It’s an open question whether sitting in my office offers a tremendous advantage versus on my desk on a computer screen.” He went on to talk about the nature of video chat. “I personally believe there are some nuances to sitting physically with someone that are very valuable. On the other hand, when you’re Skyping with someone, generally people who use a video chat – unless you’re a television professional who has done it ad-nauseam – you tend to look directly in the monitor – into the camera – the whole time. So in a way, the eye-to-eye contact is intensified. Because the person’s face, literally, is 18-inches from me.” Dr. Ablow admits that he is unaware of any studies done to show whether people reveal things more in person or video chat with a psychiatrist, but he adds that he has effectively treated patients using only video chat. One of his other services is Hiatus 1, an extremely personalized treatment program where you can stay at a small home for an extended period of time for more focused treatment. Ablow says people have stayed anywhere from a week to three months. From the website: “Hiatus 1 offers one person at a time the opportunity to reside in the small, elegant home on the grounds of his Newburyport, Massachusetts office. This sets the stage for multiple meetings with Dr. Ablow each day and a tailored program of medication management, life story analysis, nutritional counseling, and state-of-theart technologies, like ketamine infusion therapy.” Ketamine infusion therapy raises an immediate eyebrow due to its reputation as a party drug, but when utilized via IV, it has been known to help curb symptoms of depression and even suicidal thoughts. “Dramatically positive effects on anxiety

and depression,” he tells me. “The benefits I’ve seen are pretty impressive, and the data is very strong,” said psychiatrist Kyle Lapidus, MD, in an article on WebMD. He’s doing a lot. The article further states, “there have been a large number of positive studies, though the number of participants in those studies has been small.” All of this is in addition to his services and expertise in psychotherapy and psychopharmacology, as well as other services involving Nutraceutical infusions and more. He hopes that people will come to him with the intentions of “finally, comprehensively beating depression or anxiety and getting a handle on your life.” He’s clearly been busy. “Yeah [laughs]! It’s been busy, but the good news is that the practices reflect the best intentions of psychiatry, because there was a time when psychiatry would draw from the disciplines that have the most promise and deliver them all to the patient.” But for a guy like Keith Ablow, who has all of these passions in all of these different fields, it feels like it would be tough to fully specialize. I asked him: where does the heart of his passion lie? “Well, I’m a real lucky guy, because the heart of my passion has many applications and it is this: I care very deeply about stories being authentic. So I’m able to apply that passion that I have in a number of venues. And one of those venues is psychiatry because it happens that when people know their stories more completely, they are healed by understanding what really happened in their lives.” I threw him a slightly loaded follow-up for our final question: What is important to you? He had a simple answer. “The courage to be truthful and loving.” Special thanks to Dr. Keith Ablow for his time. For more information, go to KeithAblow.com.

Hand to God Described as “Sesame Street meets The Exorcist” by the New Yorker, Hand To God tells the story of an awkward Texas teen named Jason, who spends his afternoons at his local church, practicing for the Christian Puppet Ministry run by his widowed mother.
