Bio
Dr. Conroy is a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who trained at the Indiana University School of Medicine. She specializes in the treatment of mood disorders, particularly treatment-resistant depression, with an interest in neurostimulation treatment modalities. Clinically, she is the medical director of the Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) service at IU Health Methodist Hospital and the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) service at Goodman Hall Adult Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic. Her research focuses on how neurostimulation methods might improve dysfunctional neurocircuitry in depression, and on improving care for people with depression and bipolar disorder.
