WHAT IS TMS THERAPY?
TMS therapy is a non-invasive, non-systemic treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Specifically, TMS therapy targets the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for regulating mood. The magnetic pulses create small electric currents that stimulate or “wake up” the nerve cells in this area. As a result, TMS therapy can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Why does this approach work? TMS therapy works by disrupting the negative thought patterns that can keep people with depression and anxiety stuck in their current state. By working to reset these circuits, TMS helps create new connections and pathways for improved mood regulation.
TMS THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY
TMS therapy has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of depression and can also be effective for anxiety. Clinical studies show that TMS therapy is a much safer and more effective alternative to traditional treatments, such as antidepressant medications and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). TMS therapy has fewer side effects than medication, and patients experience a greater quality of life in the long term.
Just a few of the benefits of TMS therapy include:
- Improved mood and energy levels
- Reduced anxiety symptoms
- Increased focus and concentration
- Improved motivation and daily functioning
- Decreased risk of relapse after treatment ends
Every patient’s experience with TMS therapy is unique, and your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN TMS THERAPY SESSIONS
TMS therapy is a non-invasive outpatient procedure that takes approximately 20-30 minutes. Patients sit in a comfortable chair, and a magnetic coil is placed over the scalp. During the procedure, patients may feel a tapping or knocking sensation on their forehead. After the session is over, patients can resume their normal activities without any downtime. The total number of TMS therapy sessions needed varies depending on the individual and the severity of their symptoms.
