TMS™ is a game changer. Hope is just around the corner.
If you’re struggling with the side effects associated with your depression such as weight gain, moodiness, sexual dysfunction, or you just don’t feel your medication is working…hope is right around the corner. TMS Therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is not taken by mouth and does not circulate in the blood stream throughout the body. The technology has already been applied in thousands of cases worldwide in the framework of clinical studies. It has also been enthusiastically embraced by leading research institutions worldwide, with over 60 clinical trials performed.
Focused stimulation of targeted regions in the brain with pulsed magnetic fields may have a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitters levels. Treating depression with TMS provides an alternative depression treatment for those who have not benefited from prior antidepressant medication. If you are experiencing any depression symptoms, contact our office today to set up an appointment with one of our psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, or licensed professional counselors who has the expertise you need to discuss your depression treatment options.
About TMS™
What is TMS™?
TMS™ is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is NOT ECT. ECT is a “convulsive” therapy, where TMS is a “non-convulsive” therapy. It is non-invasive, non-drug, and mostly pain free. TMS is typically used when other depression treatments haven’t been effective.
TMS™ Patients: For some people, standard depression treatments aren’t effective. Repetitive TMS is typically used when standard treatments such as medications and talk therapy (psychotherapy) don’t work.
Clinically Studied: TMS™ treatment was first cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2008, and has since been the subject of numerous clinical trials and studies. With TMS, we now have the ability to provide a non-drug treatment for anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD and smoking cessation. If you are struggling with any of these issues, contact our office today to learn more about your options.
