What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive therapeutic procedure used primarily for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not involve ingesting any substances. Instead, it uses focused magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. This targeted approach aims to help restore healthy brain activity patterns associated with depression.
How Does TMS Work?
During a typical TMS session, you will be comfortably seated and awake. Our trained technicians will place a device over your head. This device generates brief magnetic pulses that pass through the skull and reach the brain. These pulses are designed to target specific regions, often the prefrontal cortex, which is sometimes underactive in individuals experiencing depression. The sensations during a session are often described as a tapping or clicking feeling on the scalp.
Who Can Benefit from TMS?
TMS is typically recommended for adults diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), meaning their depression has not adequately responded to at least one course of adequate antidepressant medication. It may also be an option for individuals experiencing persistent depressive disorder (PDD) or other forms of depression. A thorough evaluation is necessary to determine if TMS is appropriate for you.
