Transforming Lives: TMS Therapy for Depression
If you suffer from depression and have not seen benefits from medications and talk therapy, TMS may be for you. TMS was approved by the FDA for the treatment of medication resistant depression in 2008 and many insurance plans offer coverage for TMS therapy.
A Patient's Empowering Journey Toward Overcoming Medication Resistant Depression with TMS
"TMS gave me my life back!"
How TMS Works
TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a non-invasive therapy that stimulates specific regions of the brain associated with mood regulation. During a TMS session, a magnetic coil is placed near the scalp, creating painless magnetic pulses. These pulses trigger neuronal activity and promote the release of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which play crucial roles in mood regulation. TMS is believed to reset imbalances in the brain, offering a promising path to depression relief.
Our Success Rate
In our clinic, we have seen a significant improvement in approximately 80% of our patients and over 40% of our patients have a complete resolution in their symptoms.
A Life-Altering Solution for Mental Health
"I didn't have any side effects at all, which is not something I can say about other medications and things I've tried."
Common Side Effects
One of the most significant advantages of TMS therapy is its minimal side effects. Common side effects are generally mild and include mild scalp discomfort and occasional headache, which typically subside after each session. Unlike medications, TMS therapy does not have the systemic side effects that can accompany antidepressant drugs.
What is the process for TMS?
Typically, patients receive five treatments per week, over a course of six weeks. After the one-time setup process, each treatment session ranges between 3-37 minutes.
