TMS

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression and other mental health conditions. TMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, particularly in areas known to regulate mood. This innovative approach is designed for individuals who have not found relief through traditional treatments such as medication or psychotherapy. By directly targeting the brain’s activity, TMS aims to alleviate symptoms and improve overall mental health.

TMS treatment involves the use of a magnetic coil, which is placed gently against the patient’s scalp. This coil generates brief magnetic pulses that pass painlessly through the skull and stimulate the underlying brain regions. Each session typically lasts about 30-40 minutes, and patients can resume normal activities immediately afterward. The procedure is well-tolerated, with the most common side effects being mild scalp discomfort or headache, which usually subside after the first few sessions.

Patients usually undergo TMS treatment five days a week over the course of four to six weeks, although the exact duration may vary based on individual needs and responses. Many patients begin to notice improvements in their symptoms within the first few weeks of treatment. TMS is particularly beneficial for those who have experienced treatment-resistant depression, offering new hope and an alternative pathway to recovery.
