What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting substances that can cause side effects. It is also distinct from Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) as it does not involve general anesthesia or electrical currents passing through the scalp.
How Does TMS Work?
During a TMS session, our trained technicians will position a device over your head. This device generates focused magnetic pulses that gently stimulate specific areas of your brain involved in mood regulation. You will feel the pulses as a tapping sensation on your head. The treatment is typically well-tolerated, and most patients report minimal discomfort. The goal is to help reset and activate these underactive brain regions, leading to improved mood and reduced depressive symptoms.
Who Can Benefit from TMS?
TMS is primarily used for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), which is defined as depression that has not adequately responded to at least one prior antidepressant medication at an adequate dose and duration. However, TMS may also be considered for other conditions, such as anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and certain types of chronic pain, depending on individual circumstances and clinical assessment.
