Well, TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a revolutionary procedure that involves the use of strong magnetic energy—about the same kind you'd receive with an MRI—to aim at specific regions of the brain responsible for our mood. With this groundbreaking treatment, our skilled staff can boost the activity of these regions of the brain, offering an exciting new option for people with depression.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for depression takes a novel approach to care. TMS focuses on specific regions of the brain that help control mood but have reduced activity in people with depression. Using a magnetic field similar to that of an MRI, TMS stimulates brain cells to release neurotransmitters—the same chemicals antidepressants aim to increase. In addition to that, TMS increases the connectivity of the brain, allowing various regions to communicate with each other more effectively. Most people find that TMS Therapy provides them with considerable relief from their symptoms, even if other treatments have not been effective for them.
