Conditions Treated By TMS THERAPY
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a type of therapy that does not involve surgery or invasive procedures. TMS uses magnetic pulses for a short duration to target specific brain regions that control thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. TMS therapy has been demonstrated as an alternative approach to alleviate symptoms of depression and OCD.
Learn About TMS Therapy
What occurs in the brain during depression and how can TMS therapy help treat depression?
During depression, the brain's emotional control center, which regulates mood, operates at less than full capacity. The emotional control center transmits signals along neural pathways to and from the brain regions that determine how we act, react, and respond to situations, thoughts, and emotions. In a depressed brain, these pathways become less active, or even dormant. Consequently, these signals that would usually regulate mood and emotion do not function correctly when someone is depressed. As a result, the brain's ability to naturally interpret, evaluate, and react to external stimuli is impaired.
TMS allows us to take a non-invasive approach that employs brief magnetic pulses to pinpoint the specific brain area impacted by depression. Comparable to training or working a muscle, the inactive signals gradually begin firing and reconnecting correctly, resulting in the restoration of the emotional control center.
Is TMS Therapy Right For You?
Do you feel sad, nervous, irritable, or restless? These symptoms may be related to depression and anxiety, which are two types of mental illnesses. You can evaluate the seriousness of your depressive symptoms and their fluctuation rate over time by using a self-evaluation tool called the PHQ-9. We offer short mental health quizzes or assessments that are easily accessible online. By clicking on the buttons below, you can take either the PHQ-9 or GAD-7 assessment.
Key Benefits For TMS Treatment
TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, has several advantages that make it a useful treatment for depression. Firstly, it is noninvasive, meaning surgery is not required and you can continue with your day after a session ends. Additionally, it is a safe treatment with a very low risk of serious side effects such as seizures. Any side effects that do occur are usually mild and short-lived. TMS has been proven to be effective in treating various conditions, with success rates varying by condition. It can be life-saving in cases of major depressive disorder (MDD), which can lead to suicide. TMS is often used by psychiatrists cooperatively with other treatments, such as medications and psychotherapy, making it a flexible treatment option.
